You have been subscribed to a public bug: 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 ** Affects: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Triaged ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton) Status: Confirmed ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: gdm3 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: Triaged ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: Won't Fix ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: gdm3 (Ubuntu Mantic) Importance: Undecided Status: Triaged ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Mantic) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton) Status: Confirmed ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 (Ubuntu Mantic) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released -- Migrate from fbdev drivers to simpledrm and DRM fbdev emulation layer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
