RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Neal Gompa 2021-07-27 01:05:36 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1986222 +++

Description of problem:
Linux 5.14 introduces the new SimpleDRM driver as a generic fallback driver that supports KMS. GNOME Wayland does not support non-KMS graphics for rendering, and KDE Plasma's non-KMS (fbdev) rendering mode pretty much does not work. This driver makes it possible for desktop environments to *always* expect KMS to work, even if a native driver isn't available, which makes it simpler to support Wayland.

Please enable SimpleDRM so that it becomes achievable to use Wayland for "basic graphics mode" fallback configurations.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.14.0-0.rc3.29.el9

Additional info:
The lack of this driver led to bug 1952431 happening during Fedora Linux 34's development and I would really like SimpleDRM to be enabled so I can make more progress on solidifying Wayland support and remove hacks to disable Wayland in "basic graphics mode".

Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2023-01-27 07:27:55 UTC 
After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
Comment 10 Niels De Graef 2023-01-30 10:18:39 UTC 
Re-opening since this is just our stale bot being too eager

Again, please don't mind our overeager stale bot at times.
