Title: Migrate from fbdev drivers to simpledrm and DRM fbdev emulation layer Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gdm3 source package in Jammy: Triaged Status in linux source package in Jammy: Won't Fix Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 source package in Jammy: Fix Released Status in gdm3 source package in Mantic: Triaged Status in linux source package in Mantic: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 source package in Mantic: Fix Released Bug description: 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+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
