Public bug reported: 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: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965303 Title: Migrate from fbdev drivers to simpledrm and DRM fbdev emulation layer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1965303/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
