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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1965303/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
