Bug#993640: Please turn on the SimpleDRM driver in 5.14
Subject: linux-image-amd64: Please turn on the SimpleDRM driver in 5.14
Package: linux-image-amd64
X-Debbugs-Cc: bluescreen_avenger@verizon.net
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Please turn on CONFIG_SIMPLE_DRM and CONFIG_X86_SYSFB
for 32/64 bit x86. SimpleDRM allows a /dev/dri/card0 to exist even in
lesser supported video cards, which makes it easy for Wayland based
display servers, as well as potential things like KMSCon
I am reporting from Debian Stable, which explains why my kernel version
generated by reportbug doesn't match 5.14, but I would like to see this
enabled in the future please.
