http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193250 Bug ID: 1193250 Summary: Fully switch TW to DRM graphics drivers and disable fbdev drivers Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org Assignee: gfx-bugs@suse.de Reporter: tzimmermann@suse.com QA Contact: gfx-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- In TW, we mostly use fbdev vesafb and efifb drivers for early-boot display output and as fallback. This has a number of problems, such as * Most modern Wayland compositors don't support fbdev any longer. Even X' support is bolted-on. Generally, userspace support for fbdev is slowly fading. See bug 1187154. * Handover from fbdev to native DRM drivers is unreliable and can result in stuck systems during boot. See bug 1181913. Therefore, replace TW's fbdev drivers with simpledrm and maybe other DRM drivers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
