hi!

So it's on our list, it used to work in the deep past but with the
evolution of DRM and drivers not being tested
on ppc64le or ppc64 it's been a bit of a broken crapshoot to figure out.

I did try buying an amd/radeon GPU for my P9 box but it didn't work; I
need to see if it's the GPU being broken
or actually just not working on the P9. I'll save up some pennies to
buy something more recent that amdgpu
will work with and try that.
