2023-09-14 14:16:53 Timo Aaltonen description The fbdev subsystem has been deprecated for a long time. We should drop it in favour of using simpledrm with fbdev emulation layer. This requires config changes: DRM=y DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION=y FB_EFI=n FB_VESA=n (? check this) SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=y fbcon will still require FB to be available, but will use the fbdev emulation layer At the time of filing this bug report, the NVIDIA drivers don't support the fbdev emulation layer, so VT's would be broken on them if this was to be enabled right now. So the drivers need fixing, and this bug report is a placeholder until we are able to move forward. fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2022385 The fbdev subsystem has been deprecated for a long time.

This requires config changes: FB_EFI=n FB_VESA=n fbcon will still require FB to be available, but will use the fbdev emulation layer fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2022385 [ Impact ] The fbdev subsystem has been deprecated for a long time. We should drop it in favour of using simpledrm with fbdev emulation layer. This requires Kernel config changes: FB_EFI=n FB_VESA=n fbcon will still require FB to be available, but will use the fbdev emulation layer When this stack is enabled, it changes boot timing such that some drivers may take a longer time to boot and GDM may hang in a black screen. [ Test Plan ] * Ensure that a kernel with required kernel changes can boot to GDM using DRM driver (amdgpu, i915, or nouveau) [ Where Problems could occur ] * Race conditions could be exposed to DE environments * Software that expects to find DRM device at /dev/dri/card0 may have a problem. * Some older versions of NVIDIA driver might not work properly.
