It's not a generic problem on ppc64, just a generic problem on ppc64
with AST graphics (BMC on the Blackbird and Talos).  It's an endian
issue.  With a discrete graphics card (old AMD graphics card supported
by graphics/drm-legacy-kmod) it should be fine.  Acceleration is another
story altogether, though.
