             Bug ID: 214725
            Summary: simpledrm and i915 both active after boot
            Product: Drivers
            Version: 2.5
     Kernel Version: 5.14.11
           Hardware: All
                 OS: Linux
               Tree: Mainline
             Status: NEW
           Severity: normal
           Priority: P1
          Component: Video(DRI - non Intel)
           Assignee: drivers_video-dri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
           Reporter: dennis.lissov@xxxxxxxxx
         Regression: No

Gentoo Linux, custom kernel build, 5.14.11 with
CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM=y
CONFIG_DRM_I915=y

Plasma (wayland) sees two monitors: the laptop screen and an unknown one. The
only monitor physically present is the laptop screen. This did not happen a few
months ago (possibly started with 5.14 upgrade).

$ ls /sys/class/drm/
card0  card0-eDP-1  card1  card1-Unknown-1  card2  card2-DP-1  card2-DP-2
card2-DP-3  renderD128  renderD129  version

$ readlink /sys/class/drm/card1 # Simple DRM
../../devices/platform/simple-framebuffer.0/drm/card1
$ readlink /sys/class/drm/card2 # Nouveau (not used at the moment)
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/drm/card2

Looks like the hand-over mechanism does not correctly handle this combination,
possibly due to i915 loading before simpledrm.


Interesting. There are two workarounds:

 * build every driver except simpledrm as module, or
 * don't build simpledrm on yur system (it's Gentoo)

I don't think that linking all driver into the kernel worked before simpledrm. Before simpledrm there would be simplefb, efifb or vesafb. Those drivers use a similar handover scheme, which would have failed in a similar way.

Best regards
Thomas
