<pre>A standard setup for a linux distro is for plymouth to launch X and gdm.
Currently when booting there is a flicker at the time when X launches.
There is a carefully done handoff there between the two, where plymouth drops
the drm master and them gdm takes it, etc. But for flicker-free boot this does
rely on the X driver starting up with the same framebuffer contents as what was
seen before.
For example,
<a href="https://github.com/endlessm/xf86-video-armsoc/commit/7f15fa47b6c35b154cbb39bb6145025b51af401c">https://github.com/endlessm/xf86-video-armsoc/commit/7f15fa47b6c35b154cbb39bb6145025b51af401c</a>
It would be great if this could be implemented in amdgpu.</pre>
