Removal of vesa and fbdev X.org drivers from Rawhide

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I noticed that the vesa and fbdev X.org drivers were recently retired
from Rawhide. There appears to be no Change for this. The commit
messages for the retirements refer to this old Change:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceFbdevDrivers#Detailed_Description

but that Change was for Fedora 36, and was considered "completed" at
the time with no removal of any X.org drivers. The scope of that Change
says nothing about retiring X.org drivers.

This has had at least one substantial impact that somebody noticed:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/BU46CQS64XWVDANVXLXUE3KVLZLWPSG5/

booting with 'nomodeset', which has decades of history as a standard
workaround for having some kind of issue with the native driver for
your hardware, no longer works, it seems.

To me this is a significant change which maybe should be a Change, not
just slipped in with reference to a Change from six releases ago which
did not have this in its scope.
