Hi,
I'm the current maintainer of kmscon, a linux userspace terminal, that aims
to replace fbcon.
It should be the default in the upcoming Fedora 45 release.
thanks (I don't see it as default in rawhide -- when might that happen?)
It just got merged last night:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redhat-systemd-presets/pull-request/3
I see redhat-systemd-presets-102-2.fc45.noarch in my updated rawhide machine,
the kmscon package is dropped from the list (and the console is still "linux").
Yes the preset is applied on new installation, if you are updating an
existing rawhide install, it will stay on fbcon.
to enable kmscon, you need to run this:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]
/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]
sudo systemctl restart kmsconvt@tty3
also if you want better font, you can install the freetype plugin with:
sudo dnf install kmscon-freetype
and restart kmscon.
Best regards,
