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
