Quick update: macppc powerpc g4 on openbsd 7.1-current. xenocara from openbsd 7.1 (mesa 21.3.7), * glxgears locks immediately as described earlier; five or six times tried, straight after a reboot * once it ran for about three teeth rotation of the wheel, and then froze. That was exciting.
I compiled and ran xenocara from openbsd 7.0 (mesa 21.1.8), * glxgears runs nicely, but only for one invocation of the glxgears command :/ * second run is the same result as with 7.1 until rebooted xenocara from openbsd 6.9 failed to build, so I installed binaries instead over the top of (and deleting and replacing) the current install. * after some messing with old libraries, glxgears cannot get a RGB Double Buffered visual I was hoping to get back down to mesa 20.x, so it was a little inconclusive there. Looking at modern, I see that mesa 22.0.x contains a lot of r300 fixes in the changelog. If r300 is the radeon r300 in my laptop, this is nice - if a little surprising for such an old card. I did start a path on updating mesa on 7.1-current, but the number of differences and my lack of xenorama build knowledge has not produced fruit as of yet. To recap on the the glxgears failure cases: upon getting a blank screen: * X is still running but no longer responding - can move mouse, cannot click any windows or displays a menu, capslock lights/unlights when pressed. * can still on the network, and can SSH in * if you do nothing else but ssh in and doas reboot, the machine will reboot. If you try and kill the glxgears process first, and then try to reboot, the machine will hang (blank screen, unable to ssh in) but wont reboot. Caps-lock still works. Don't have a serial console for this laptop. Not exactly progress, but a useful exercise for me nonetheless.
