Re: [RFC PATCH 0/4] Allow to use DRM fbdev emulation layer with CONFIG_FB disabled

Hi Daniel,

I think for a substantial improvement here in robustness what you

really

...

...

want is

• kmscon in userspace
• disable FB layer
• ideally also disable console/vt layer in the kernel
• have a minimal emergency/boot-up log thing in drm, patches for that floated around a few times

I assume you refer to this work by David Herrmann: "[RFC] drm: add kernel-log renderer" https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2014-March/055136.html

There's also this:

[PATCH v2 0/3] drm: Add panic handling

https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20190311174218.51899-1-noralf@tronnes.org/

And here's a DRM console example that was part of the early drm_client work:

[RFC v4 25/25] drm/client: Hack: Add DRM VT console client https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20180414115318.14500-26-noralf@tronnes.org...
