*** Bug 578830 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can confirm that CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION, FB_MODE_HELPERS are needed. Only CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION is neccesary for building and loading the drm module. However CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS did not help my situation of xcom2 saying my gfx card is not support and low fps in ns2. I found the FBDEV thing last week, but I do not have FB_MODE_HELPERS in my kernel and haven't had a single issue or error with the drivers I believe this may have been only relevant when using modeset=1 Either way, addition of DRM and DRM_KMS_HELPER would ensure everything is available: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=b69bae801a904d7f31145bfba5a50f11a9cbbdf7 DRM_KMS_HELPER notably pulls DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION, so I'll mark this fixed. However, the DRM_KMS_HELPER config option being not directly available is another issue, bug #603818 is still open about this. |
