** Description changed: 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 + FB_VESA=n 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
