Unfortunately, this is only supported from Mesa 24.2.0 (see https://docs.mesa3d.org/relnotes/24.2.0.html -- search for 2712D0). The result is corrupted or blank output for the current Ubuntu 24.04.1 Pi desktop (using Mesa 24.0.9). The forthcoming oracular desktop does work as far as login goes, but snapped applications are still relying on an older mesa, thus the software center, firefox, and thunderbird all fail to operate. Although the D0 is only on the 2GB model *currently*, it is anticipated to become common to the entire Pi 5 line up going forward, and will be present on the forthcoming CM5. Could we investigate either bumping mesa in noble, and the corresponding content snap, or finding the minimal patch-set necessary to support the D0 stepping and back-porting that?
