Hi Mathieu and Antero,

First of all, thanks for your investigation and ensuing patch!

Seems good to me.  I'm still pretty uneducated about DRM, the
framebuffers and whatnot though.  IIUC, we require either DRI or FB for
kmscon to work (which is better than just FB for the kernel's default fb
console).

Also, are there other DRM drivers that we could blacklist because they
may try to load non-free blobs?  Do some specific systems *require*
non-free blobs in order to display anything?

Best,
