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.
