It's been 2 years and ... unfortunately the driver still does not support non-x86.

i915's never getting rearchitected for non-x86, but aarch64 reportedly runs Arc with a few caveats using Intel's xe driver. There's nothing it offers that my W6600 doesn't do well enough for my needs at this point, but I'd like to think it'll work since Power9/Raptor's PCIe implementation's apparently less warty.

Quick question/update: I've come into a dinky but adequate Arc A380 and am wondering what the odds are that I could use it in my Blackbird, freeing up the W6600 I've had in there for a different purpose. Anyone hear reports of the i915 or xe driver actually working on ppc64le before I free up an afternoon to try?
