Hi,
just a quick note that I re-submitted the config changes to update the graphics stack. Please see my mail below for the rational and details.
To go back to the old config, pass
'nosimplefb'
on the kernel command line. Users of the proprietary Nvidia graphics driver will continue to use the old config for now.
2 questions: will this happen on its own, or will nvidia users have to manually do something to their systems?
Modesetting with Nvidia devices depends on the kernel parameter nvidia-drm.modeset. If the parameter has been given, the kernel will use the old graphics config with fbdev's efifb. We set this by default on TW, so it should work out of the box.
and what about nvidia optimus laptops, i.e. intel graphics as main X11 with rendering offloaded to the nvidia chip if required?
I don't have a system to test this. My understanding is that the Intel chips is the primary display and the Nvidia is not being used for any actual displaying. So it should work as well. If it doesn't, you can go back to the old config by giving nosimplefb on the kernel command line.
and finally, this will just appear in a snapshot sometime soon now?
It's pending. I expect it to be in the next kernel release (5.18.3.* ?). Best regards Thomas
Cheers MH
