I think the issue is that simplefb will register as console but the display driver is probably reconfiguring the display hardware and then registering a new console, so you'd end up with just a blank screen. Typically the simplefb device tree nodes will be added by the bootloader so you might be able to prevent the bootloader from adding it. Ideally, though, the solution would be to do a proper hand-off from simplefb to DRM/KMS so that you can have a seemless transition. Somewhere in the middle would be to make simplefb unload when loading the DRM/KMS driver. Thierry
