   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,
