I understand that it may well be Nvidia's I believe is due the RPM Fusion package has the patch that removes the conflicting framebuffers and that causes the efifb fbdev to be unregistered when the Nvidia DRM driver probes. Ok, it does look like this is not due to the use of simpledrm but rather missing efifb. If I use initcall_blacklist=efifb_driver_init for the kernel with efifb built-in, the laptop display is also not lighting up, same as the simpledrm case. Created attachment 1870816 [details]
dmesg efifb blacklisted
The issue is still present on Fedora 36 final release, kernel 5.17.6, and latest beta driver 515.43.04 with the proprietary kernel modules. With the new open source kernel modules, GDM shows up on the laptop display (but not the external display) and everything will freeze soon after. So it is still necessary to either re-build the kernel with efifb or switch to iGPU (hybrid graphics) as a workaround for now. Also saw another report of this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/ueq4jm/internal_laptop_screen_black_in_discrete_graphics/ Although I don't know how many hardware setups are affected, given the severity of this issue, should it be documented in F36 Common issues at https://ask.fedoraproject.org/tags/c/common-issues/141/f36? (In reply to Javier Martinez Canillas from comment #5) > I believe is due the RPM Fusion package has the patch that removes the Thank you for the patch in the first place :) > conflicting framebuffers and that causes the efifb fbdev to be unregistered > when the Nvidia DRM driver probes. I thought that the Fedora config changes meant that there *is* no efifb driver [1] loaded in the kernel at all any more (so more that it's not present in the first place as opposed to being removed by the patch ?). If that is the case, what are the chances of getting FB_EFI re-enabled in the stock kernel for such users ?

I explained that CONFIG_FB_EFI with the rpmfusion build won't work because that patch would made the efifb driver to be unregistered when the Nvidia DRM driver probes. In other words, the Nvidia DRM driver could not rely anymore on using the efifb framebuffer to bind to the framebuffer console and have VT support. > If that is the case, what are the chances of getting FB_EFI re-enabled in the > stock kernel for such users ? > Not likely. I understand that this is not ideal for Nvidia users but we can't hold back changes and improve the support for all other graphic devices just because bugs in the Nvidia driver that they are not fixing. This is a known issue with the Nvidia driver and there's nothing we can in the Fedora kernel: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/no-virtual-terminal-vt-with-the-nvidia-driver/22440 Why is this closed as CANTFIX? It could easily be fixed by re-enabling efifb in the kernel for people who want or need to use that module. As far as I know having simplefb compiled in doesn't mean that efifb could be built in as well, other distributions manage to do exactly that. That sounds to me rather like a "we could but don't want to fix", and there I'd like to hear the reasoning, since this obviously affects all fedora users with a rather common hardware setup.

That is, the "efi-framebuffer" platform device that matches the efifb fbdev driver will be unregistered once a DRM driver probes, and so loading the efifb module loading to be a no-op operation. > That sounds to me rather like a "we could but don't want to fix", and there > I'd like to hear the reasoning, since this obviously affects all fedora > users with a rather common hardware setup. We could build efifb as a module and papering over the issue and things may work until they break again and users complain. Sorry, but the truth is that the Nvidia proprietary driver was relying on the efifb driver and things used to work but it was due sheer luck. If the Nvidia driver wants to have VT and the framebuffer console to bind to it, needs to register an emulated fbdev device. Anything else just works by coincidence. But you are correct that this is an inconvenience for Nvidia users, we will investigate if we can implement a workaround for this. I assume that at least for users of newer GPUs, the new FOSS driver might resolve this as I expect it to integrate more with kernel interfaces such as the framebuffer. However, this is long term and only for newer products, so short term, at least for the Fedora 36 and if possible 37 lifecycle, it would be great to have a workaround. I assume that leaving the efifb built in (if possible, module always require shoving it into the initrd) and setting a kernel parameter (which nvidia packages, e.g. from rpmfusion, can and I think already do anyway) to use that should work. Thanks for looking into it.

If the answer to the previous question is 'yes' - then is that still enough once these patches to remove the platform devices get released ?

Having both simpledrm and efifb built-in and a kernel cmdline param to decide which one to use. It's and ugly workaround but it may be something like that needed in the meantime... > Thanks for looking into it. You are welcome. It's not that we want to make life of users harder but is just that using simpledrm solves other issues (i.e: having a DRI interface and Gnome wayland sessions with nomodeset, etc). So reverting the change would break that for users whose DRM drivers are doing the correct thing. So is not fair either.

Any idea why it might work for some and not > others? I'm not that familiar with Nvidia cards to understand why not everyone is having the issue. But yes, it seems that there are some Nvidia card that work correctly. I can gladly do some tests, what I can already say is that for me VTs don't work with a F36 kernel config on an RTX3070 (thus a newer model, ampere generation), but I do set a custom resolution by setting it in grub and using the keepvideo paramater. What I could try, once I am home, is if e.g. not setting a custom resolution changes anything) My best guess, however, would be that it depends on the GPU generation. What also could be interesting is comparing a vanilla installed nvidia module and one installed via rpmfusion rpms, since the latter do apply a patch that modifies framebuffer behaviour. Short term, however, I doubt there is a quick and guaranteed-to-work solution other than keeping the removed fb modules compiled in kernel and switching to them via a kernel command line. > I'm not that familiar with Nvidia cards to understand why not everyone is having
the issue. But yes, it seems that there are some Nvidia card that work correctly.
Could it be that this is not card-model related. But rather related to people booting in BIOS mode (and thus getting a vgacon which likely sticks around) vs booting in EFI mode and thus having the efifb issue ?

That indeed sounds quite plausible. Thanks for pointing out this Hans. (In reply to Hans de Goede from comment #20) > Could it be that this is not card-model related.

On F35, I was using BIOS boot, and with updates-testing repo / stabilization repo, experienced the issue with my RTX 2060 around Feb when the 5.17 kernel was being prepared for stable, where the simpledrm change had been made there as a way to test it in preparation for F36 [1], as did others (tho I cannot now find the discussion thread for this :( ). With F36 I have also moved to UEFI (in place manual change to add ESP and change boot settings), and I certainly get the same issue booting to sddm. Now I'm thinking about it however, I think I might have had access to the VTs on f35, but definitely don't on F36. [1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel/c/8db3d1f47fd8f9dfa6c83e5e6c20dde1109899cf?branch=stabilization is where the change was initially applied for testing, it was later rolled back somwehre when moving to the stable f35 branch with regards to UEFI versus BIOS: the machine I can reproduce it with was always booted in UEFI mode, and if I boot with a stock Fedora 35 kernel under Fedora 36 VTs work, if I boot with a stock Fedora 36 kernel (same boot parameters, same UEFI config, same resolution) they do not.

Thanks for pointing out this Hans. We have at work some non-Ampere GTX cards and some Optimus laptops with various generations of Quadro cards, the latter without connected outputs on the Nvdia GPU. All of them boot with UEFI, no CSM compatibility. The computers with the discrete card work "fine", I just see a non usable second screen of 1024x768 connected to nowhere due to the simpledrm driver, but apart from that everything works fine, tty switching, cosole, wayland/X, etc. Adding the various patches or kernel boot parameter I see only one screen but I have all the other issues mentioned (lockups on tty switches or blank screen, etc). On the Optimus laptops, the Intel card + simpledrm are working perfectly fine and the nvidia card is only seldom used, there is absolutely no issue, as the nvidia card is not used to drive the main display and does not need to restore the screen on VT switches. Adding the patches or the kernel boot parameter of course now screw up everything. Nothing particularly blocking on the desk side workstations and no issue at all on the laptops. I've proposed the following workaround https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1788. TL; DR the kernel will choose to either register a platform device that binds to simpledrm or {efi,vesa}fb depending on whether nvidia-drm.modeset=1 is set or not.

That's great, thank you! I see that the MR got merged - is there a convenient way for me to test it locally? Will it be automatically included into the next kernel update on koji ?

It will be included in the next Fedora 5.17.x build, yes. Hey, thanks a lot for the fix. Could you give a quick ping here when a kernel with the patch in is in bodhi? fuchs@deskfox ~ % grep FB_EFI /boot/config-5.17.9-300.fc36.x86_64 # CONFIG_FB_EFI is not set it seems it didn't make it into that one in time, and I'll gladly test and give feedback once there is one.

Should it have any impact on Optimus laptops? We're rolling out Fedora 36 everywhere at work and it works just fine with intel/simpledrm and nvidia does not take care of driving fbcon consoles.

For me it is set, but I don't remember if I have set it manually or if it was set by the driver (from rpmfusion). It's a sane option to take, since you set it when you want the nvidia drivers drm part to take care of framebuffer modesetting. If you have an optimus setup where the intel card does the actual connection to the montiors, you usually neither want nor set that. I have an optimus laptop at hand, however, it's a special case (a thinkpad, where you can switch between optimus, discreet only or discreet off) and I can gladly test with that one, once the kernel is in bodhi. I'm afraid I don't have any optimus devices at hand where actual stuff is done by the intel card and the heavy lifting offloaded to nvidia. I can test on the laptops here at work, can we get a heads up here once it's in Bodhi? Theoretically for Optimus laptops not much should change as well, as the fbcon on simpledrm is replaced by the fbcon on efifb?... (In reply to Christian from comment #32) > I have an optimus laptop at hand, however, it's a special case (a thinkpad, > where you can switch between optimus, discreet only or discreet off) May I ask you which model is that?

The module is not in the initrd, so the normal way to assign it to the module is at module load time, i.e. /etc/modprobe.d/something.conf: options nvidia-drm modeset=1 Thanks.

Otherwise it is not an early parameter and can't be used by drivers/firmware/sysfb.c (that is built-in) to figure out whether it has to register an "efi-framebuffer" or "simple-framebuffer" platform device. I don't think there is an easy solution until Nvidia provides a proper fix, as one change breaks something else. The parameter should not be enforced on the kernel command line by the packages as it must not be present (i.e. set at 0) also for Mosaic and SLI setups, where modeset is not supported. So the user needs an option to disable it and it must not reappear on the system if the user does not want to. Nvidia is shipping the driver with modeset disabled (https://github.com/NVIDIA/yum-packaging-nvidia-kmod-common/blob/main/nvidia.conf#L23), in our setup is in the configuration file and not on the kernel command line. I would be in favour of shipping no workaround at all. Let's see how it goes :/ (In reply to Simone Caronni from comment #37) > I don't think there is an easy solution until Nvidia provides a proper fix, > as one change breaks something else. I don't think that this change on its own would break something else ? Given that your kmod etc. won't be applying the setting on the kernel command line, then shipping this change in the kernel won't change anything for you? > The parameter should not be enforced on the kernel command line by the > packages as it must not be present (i.e. set at 0) also for Mosaic and SLI > setups, where modeset is not supported.

This can be an opt-IN workaround for people like me who have issues. > I would be in favour of shipping no workaround at all. That would leave me, and all the others like me with a completely broken system - no virtual terminals, no graphical UI - unless either we rebuild the kmod to include Javier's patches on top (which still won't give VTs), or rebuild the kernel either disabling simplefb outright, or applying this patch. At least with this patch - nothing changes by default for anyone, but people have the option to be able to apply a oneline config change to fix both graphical setup and VTs, all with the stock kernel. I am therefore very much in favour of shpiping it :) I do wonder whether just having CONFIG_FB_EFI = y/m enabled and then being able to use the CLI argument to just disable the simplefb init (I can't now find the foo for that) would be enough actually? That then might also allow people with Mosaic / SLI setups to work as well (that doesn't stop this workaround from shipping as-is - it would just be a different config parameter for them to apply to the kernel command line) (In reply to Steve Storey from comment #38) > (In reply to Simone Caronni from comment #37) > > I would be in favour of shipping no workaround at all. > > That would leave me, and all the others like me with a completely broken > system - > no virtual terminals, no graphical UI - unless either we rebuild the kmod to > include Javier's patches on top (which still won't give VTs), or rebuild the > kernel either disabling simplefb outright, or applying this patch. > > At least with this patch - nothing changes by default for anyone, but people > have the option to be able to apply a oneline config change to fix both > graphical > setup and VTs, all with the stock kernel. > > I am therefore very much in favour of shpiping it :) Fully agree here. If that kernel parameter is problematic because it might be set by people who don't want it, changing it to something that needs to be set explicitly and manually is perfectly fine with me, and still better than the option of either having to boot F36 with an old F35 kernel, recompile the F36 kernel with a changed configuration (because the manuals for that seem to be a bit outdated, I am used to compiling kernels on my gentoo boxes, but with fedora and the official, not-vanilla ones I haven't managed yet, at least not with the commands found in the docs) or have no VTs available. Kind regards, Christian https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-8095b23575 looks to working great for me (and I've added +ive karma there) - thanks! Heya, thank you very much, https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-8095b23575 works if I use the vanilla nvidia driver, I finally have a VT again, and even full res. It does _not_ work with the rpmfusion driver, but that is most likely due to their custom patch that they apply, so I guess we shall now go report a bug there that they remove that for kernels >= the one with the fix. Thank you very much again, I hope that nvidia will soon fix that on their end, so that no workarounds or patches are needed on either side. Kind regards, Christian PS: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6313 created a bug report to rpmfusion so they do remove that workaround. PSPS: removing the rpmfusion driver did actually remove rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau and nvidia-drm.modeset=1 from my kernel command line, so my guess would be they set it, I had to manually re-set it after installing the driver manually. |
