[Bug 1212947] Disable fbdev userspace interfaces and programs
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212947 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212947#c4 --- Comment #4 from Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.com> --- Hi (In reply to Michal Suchanek from comment #3)
Note that /dev/fb* supports /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate, not aware of anything like that for DRM.
This interface depends on driver support and is not implemented by most drivers.
That means that switching from FB to DRM interface is a regression for people using the kernel interface to tell the application how to rotate the output.
Because the kernel interface exists many applications do not have corresponding userspace option at all.
The correct interface for console rotation is /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/{rotate,rotate_all}. These files will remain. The implementation is directly in fbcon and does not depend on individual drivers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
