#13089 F44 system-wide change: Use kmscon as default VT console
Opened by jfalempe. Modified

Close Issue

Please review the Fedora 44 system-wide change, to use kmscon as default VT console:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UseKmsconVTConsole

kmscon is a bit different than fbcon, so some applications will not work on it.
Binaries that configure the kernel font/keyboard layout won't work:
setfont, loadkeys, ...
Starting a graphic application from kmscon also won't work directly, you need to use the kmscon-launch-gui script. (so for things like startx or startplasma).
