Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

Would be nice to get it unmasked as llvmpipe is used by gnome-shell when no 3D is available

Thanks

ppc64 has no stable llvm, so the flag cannot be completely unmasked (needs at least to stay use.stable.masked)

The global mask on llvm is now removed, so only ppc64 remains.

It appears that there is an llvm for ppc64, can this mask be removed? 

It seems acceleration may be possible on G5 PCIe models with modern radeons (of console is lost, but KMS works and X reports acceleration/GLX), but mesa is not working due to lack of llvm (I believe).

Comment 4 65a 2014-12-30 04:55:45 UTC

Also, the following bugs are no longer applicable to ppc64
#425494 #425494
This means we can unmask r600-llvm-compiler as well

Hey! ppc64!

I've dropped ppc and ppc64 keywords on llvm and company.
