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

Research direction

Start by reading the Fedora 36 SimpleDRM change and reproducing the black screen when switching to a TTY or during boot with the NVIDIA driver. Done means Fedora and NobaraOS users can reach a working TTY and boot display without the reported delay or black screen.
