There's also a vesa fb driver so X is still not necessary. (Our installation media has already so much stuff on it, let's not increase it further)
For GPUs that are (sometimes) troublesome we should find out a way to automatically blacklist the native modules so vesa gets picked. Florian successfully tried kernel argument "blacklist=radeon" in the past--but I think that caused either VESA or EFI VGA to be picked and made the installer work. There are multiple possible drivers for AMD cards: * The (older) vesa (BIOS) driver * The (newer) EFI VGA driver * The (older) radeon driver * The (newer) amdgpudrm driver So we could blacklist "amdgpu" and "radeon". (Unfortunately, someone that has such GPUs has to test it)
