# Linux Kernel Module Cheat

#### 17.18.2. kmscon

TODO get working.

Implements a console for DRM.

The Linux kernel has a built-in fbdev console called Linux kernel console fun but not for DRM it seems.

The upstream project seems dead with last commit in 2014: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/kmscon/

Build failed in Ubuntu 18.04 with: https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon/issues/131 but this fork compiled but didn’t run on host: https://github.com/Aetf/kmscon/issues/2#issuecomment-392484043

Haven’t tested the fork on QEMU too much insanity.
