This legacy driver had the last update on 2022.11.22, and is EOL upstream. We should remove it from the archive before the next LTS, maybe even before Mantic is released.

We're planning on migrating the kernel from fbdev drivers to using simpledrm, but this old driver doesn't support the fbdev emulation layer, meaning that VT's would remain blank when the driver is used.

WIP:

Need to remove the driver from the system so that the kernel default (nouveau) is used instead, by modifying ubuntu-drivers?
