+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1986222 +++
Description of problem:
Linux 5.14 introduces the new SimpleDRM driver as a generic fallback driver that supports KMS. GNOME Wayland does not support non-KMS graphics for rendering, and KDE Plasma's non-KMS (fbdev) rendering mode pretty much does not work. This driver makes it possible for desktop environments to always expect KMS to work, even if a native driver isn't available, which makes it simpler to support Wayland.
Please enable SimpleDRM so that it becomes achievable to use Wayland for "basic graphics mode" fallback configurations.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.14.0-0.rc3.29.el9
Additional info:
The lack of this driver led to bug 1952431 happening during Fedora Linux 34's development and I would really like SimpleDRM to be enabled so I can make more progress on solidifying Wayland support and remove hacks to disable Wayland in "basic graphics mode".
