Under Linux/Ubuntu: I had an impression that to have video output (either in console mode or GUI mode), there must be a
fbdev
listed in /proc/fb
.
But today on my system, I installed a NVIDIA GTX1650 card, and under /etc/modprobe.d
, the options nvidia-drm modeset=1
and options nvidia-drm fbdev=1
are disabled. After reboot, the system shows that /proc/fb
is empty, but the X11/Gnome desktop is showing up correctly.
I guess I must have a mis-understanding of the implications of /proc/fb
content. Can you please give me some hints on that?
