Hey Benny!

Yes but it does work as advertised using astdrmfb and has worked with at least
one version of i915drmfb using 4.x kernels so I suspect that isn't the case ...
or so it would seem.  I still haven't got a 5.8.x kernel booting on an older
intel gpu so I haven't checked if it is a generic i915 issue of perhaps just
the Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 630 (Desktop 9 Series), which does give some
firmware loading errors in dmesg no matter what kernel version, even ones where
there isn't any issues with mplayer's "-vo fbdev2" switch.  As of today I am
still guessing and have noticed some incrimental improvements in performance
from 5.8.0 up to 5.8.10, so I suspect that it will eventually get fixed.  I am
less worried about the bootup penguins but would appreciate seeing them again. 
As of 5.8.10 there are still 8 penguins on bootup on the astdrmfb based
motherboard which happens to be what is used on many good quality server
boards, including amd epyc systems with the potential for 128 penguins on
bootup.  :::evil grin:::

A bit too rich for me though.

Life is good,
Maurice
