What about with PPC and PPC64 BE?

IIRC the drivers and userspace  aren't written to be endian aware, so PPC64 BE is likely broken. I'd also expect these dedicated cards to be rather uncommon in 32 bit machines -- these have more VRAM than the CPU has address space.

Low-cost options with sensible amounts of VRAM and reasonably-sized rendering capability do not exist as standalone devices, and these would also require the i915 driver, which does not compile on non-x86.

I think the other guy running on non-x86 hardware is using an Ampere Altra, so aarch64 is also a candidate.

In principle, all 64-bit little endian machines are candidates, in practice I'd expect it to be more limited, for example I'm doubtful if we'll ever see one of these cards in a RISC-V machine.

Hi,

I've amended it, crocus and intel_hasvk are for legacy platforms, and svga is for vmware so they don't belong here.
