I recently upgraded my 2001 Quicksilver Power Mac from Wheezy to Jessie.  I have a Radeon 9800 Pro Studio Edition in the AGP slot.  There’s an endian bug in Mesa that forces me to run GNOME in 16-bit color.  But if I try to open the settings panel, GNOME crashes.  CoGL says it can’t find a pixel format for R5G6B5 because it thinks the bit depth is 32.  This causes a failed assert() and SIGABRT.  How can I work around one or both of these issues?
Thanks,
John
