PowerPC agpmode issues

[Herminio Hernandez, Jr.]

Ben,

Are these what you are looking for? I can dump the entire journalctl log if
you need it.

Mathieu,

In Debian I looked in /etc/modules, /etc/modprobe.d/ , and
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to see where I can find what is forcing the GPU
into PCI mode and I have found nothing.

Here are some more updates with Lubuntu 16.10

1. Video playback with mpv renders in opengl with the GPU not in PCI mode

2. compton freezes the DE when I use opengl as the backend but works with
xrender

Regards,
Herminio
