Hi,
I've been having a consistent failure of startx apparently due to the addition of "nomodeset" to the kernel boot parameters. I have been using "nomodeset" for several years. This has been happening for about 2 weeks. See startx log below.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
we drop int10 everywhere and obsolete vesa and fbdev X drivers [1]
if is related please try 21.1.13-3 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2556149
also need to check if you got vesa and fbdev installed
What xorg driver is expected to be used now with nomodeset, if not vesa or fbdev?
I tried keep int10 etc , but the argument was that everything was replaced by modesetting and simpledrm and RHEL already removed int10
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceFbdevDrivers#Detailed_Descript...
so I guess nomodeset option also should be remove from the kernel because now is useless , unless George or someone else show that still be useful , i.e. simpledrm doesn't replace it .
