> This changes the behavior a bit, I guess DRM_VMWGFX (or at least DRM_VMWGFX_FBCON) would need to select DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION to preserve the old behavior, but that's largely due to the fact that given how those options were setup we never run without FB set. In general it should be ok and looks more reasonable than the current setup. I'll try it out on Monday just in case, but for now:

The issue is that select in Kconfig is pretty annoying (hard to
disable, and it's not recursive), so there's a bit a push to retire
it. Especially for user-facing config knobs like whether you want
fbdev emulation or not. Hence the change.
