Missing SimpleDRM Support which is needed by Fedora and NobaraOS

NVIDIA Driver Version
515.43.04

GPU
3070 Max-q/GTX 1070

Describe the bug
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceFbdevDrivers
These Changes have broken TTY on fedora 36 and it causes a black screen for most if not all users.
more info here https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/ucnqet/fedora_36_nvidia_blank_ttys/

Another issue is nvidia users are also getting a black screen at boot some having to wait 5 mins for the screen to kick in.

To Reproduce
install any driver on fedora 36 and try to switch to TTY

Expected behavior
No black screen on TTY

The issue I'm experiencing is not only TTYs, but everything after boot finishes is completely black.

Also part of the same issue

Let me add this here. This is a major problem when you run into issues with your fstab or one of your disks refuse to mount for some reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS0A-XvM8RI

Might do a video covering this as well to warn the fedora nvidia community

Apparently Fedora has a fix out per below thread:

Fedora has implemented a fix with kernel package 5.17.11-300.fc36.

Also the Rpmfusion akmod-nvidia package was updated to reflect this. You will need akmod-nvidia version 3:510.68.02-2.fc36 which is now in the rpmfusion-nonfree-updates repository.

[potatogod3000]

Yup! Can confirm. The 5.17.11-300 along with 510.68.02-02 fixed the issue.

Do note the fedora kernel does not fix the issue per say, simply bypasses it.

[ryzendew]

reminder this still needs to be fixed and is very important

@YusufKhan-gamedev can you maybe work on this if possible?

I think this might be that this might be something to do with ogk(these modules) not supporting fbdev emulation? My fbcon patches would probably fix the issue if thats the case(remember to set the kernel module param). I dont fully understand the problem though, im more into getting userland drivers for ogk but if I knew what the underlying issue is i would at least look into it.

The issue is @fedora screwed up and replaced the drm they where using with simpledrm some weird emulation thing and amd supports it and intel but not nvidia
