Bug ID: 93522 Summary: Tonga has only black virtual terminals Product: DRI Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: DRM/AMDgpu Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: EoD@xmw.de
When I boot the kernel via grub everything is fine, once the kernel is loading there is only a black screen until X starts.
When I switch back to the VT (via Ctrl+Alt+F1) I still see everything from X, except the mouse. When I switch back to X everything works fine again.
I am using current mesa-git and kernel 4.4-rc6.
glxinfo, dmesg, etc: can be found here: https://gist.github.com/EoD/ecb3e28fc004d740daa1

--- Comment #1 from Alex Deucher alexdeucher@gmail.com --- Make sure you compiled drm fbdev support into your kernel and that the fbcon support is loaded (either built into the kernel or the module is loaded).

Are you referring to DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION?
Yes, that needs to be enabled.
