Hi All,

I successfully updated my ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS PowerPC to 16.10 Yakkety Yak on my AmigaONE X1000 today. I want to start some testing.

Issues

I haven't found any issues. It works very well!

Tests

• Xorg 1.18.3 works
• Hardware 3D acceleration works without any problems with the official Mesa 11.2.1 (Gallium 0.4 on AMD BARTS DRM 2.43.0)
• Compiz works
• YouTube HD videos work with ViewTube in fullscreen!!!!!! (High Definition MP4 VLC HD MP4)
• Sound works
• Network works

Have a nice day!

Cheers,

Christian

I haven't updated my ubuntu MATE for a few days. Jdupuis and este.el.paz have the same problems with Firefox 46.01.
