Bug#993640: Please turn on the SimpleDRM driver in 5.14
SimpleDRM is cool and it works. Should make supporting Wayland way easier.
I think it should be turned on
Of course the bootloader needs to be correctly configured, and I couldn't figure out
how to get syslinux to work correctly with it, but it works great with Grub.
