<title>Kernel Configuration</title>

<para>
|
|
The traditional Device Dependant X (DDX) drivers have been removed
|
|
from BLFS in favor of the &modesetting_drv; driver which will be
|
|
built as a part of this package. To use the &modesetting_drv; driver,
|
|
the kernel must provide a Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) driver for
|
|
your GPU.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If your GPU supports 3D acceleration and <xref linkend='mesa'/>
|
|
provides a Gallium3D driver for utilizing its 3D capability, you
|
|
should have already enabled the necessary kernel configuration options
|
|
in <xref linkend='mesa-kernel'/>. Otherwise, you need to find the
|
|
kernel configuration option of the DRM driver for the GPU and enable
|
|
it. Notably, the virtual GPUs provided by some virtual machine
|
|
managers:

|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If the kernel does not provide a DRM driver for your GPU, on most x86
|
|
systems the <quote>simple frame buffer</quote> DRM driver running on
|
|
VESA or UEFI frame buffer can be used as a fallback. Enable the
|
|
following options in the kernel configurations if you don't have a
|
|
dedicated DRM driver for the GPU, or you want to keep the simple
|
|
frame buffer driver as a fallback in case the dedicated driver fails:

To allow the kernel to print debug messages at an early boot stage,

should not be built as kernel modules unless an initramfs will be

used.

If you want to use the simple frame buffer driver on a system booted
|
|
via BIOS (instead of UEFI), add the following line before the first
|
|
<literal>menuentry</literal> block in the
|
|
<filename>/boot/grub/grub.cfg</filename> file to initialize the VESA
|

frame buffer:

suitable for your monitor.
|

</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If all of these DRM drivers do not work for you and you need to use
|
|
a DDX driver with a non-DRM kernel GPU driver (usually named
|
|
<option>CONFIG_FB_*</option> in the kernel configuration, or existing
|
|
as out-tree kernel modules), or you need an device specific
|
|
functionality requiring a DDX driver, consult
