Stan,
FYI, There are nine powerpc-specific changes in 5.13. It may make sense to
start rolling back those commits first:

As the subject suggests, I’m giving the new image made yesterday a go.
Currently I’m in need of help getting LXDE running like it should. According to
XOrg, no screens can be found. Likewise startlxde is similarly in the same boat.
Nothing I have tried has worked.
Thank you.
Tried everything to get X working (needed working for LXDE), including a new
xorg.conf with modelines. NO SUCCESS AT ALL.
Another developer (who works on VoidPPC) said r128 needs patched to even work….
I don’t even know what he did to get it working over there.
What’ll have to be done now? Very curious to the outcome.

that too. Windows and Mac may provide a way to do this depending on
the platforms. What probably should have been done on AGP boards was
to use both the AGP GART and the device GART. The former for uncached
memory (if the platform supported it) and the latter for cached
memory. That never happened.

Pre-KMS, the kernel just allocated a static relatively small (e.g., 8
MB) AGP buffer which never changed. In that case, things were
somewhat more reliable.
