That's really not a great position to take. I would prefer that if a random contributor writes a Weston patch and runs 'meson test', it will use VKMS to run Weston's DRM-backend tests on his machine automatically, maybe save for some seat and device node access permissions bits which distributions could be delivering as well. Just put the VKMS device node into a non-default seat, and Xorg etc. will happily ignore it. For the fbdev device node, I don't know. Maybe a module parameter really is a good choice there, defaulting to off. I have no interest in testing anything against fbdev, but other people might disagree of course. Why? Gitlab CI is still not running tests for every commit, just per MR, and it might even be infeasible too. I am also hoping for a future where I don't have to build my own kernel just to be able to run Weston DRM tests with VKMS. That means I want to be able to run my machine with VKMS loaded and active at all times, without affecting the normal desktop. I already have such a setup with an extra AMD card, but you can't run most KMS tests against real hardware drivers. Thanks, pq
