Would there be a way to load uvesabf only on hardware where it’s known to fix things? Or better yet, is there a way to check whether KMS is already using another driver, and to not load uvesafb in that case? Probably there’s some info in /sys. > uvesafb certainly is not supported on ARM (though maybe it works; the > README of uvesafb’s helper program v86d just says it is not supported). Let’s forget about ARM, we don’t ship Guix System installation images for ARM. Ludo’.
