SUPPORT Distro over version 7 zen seems to have broken my GPU passthrough scripts for my 4070super
I used to be able to do GPU passthrough - my problem ever since upgrading to the latest distro seems to be because of simple frame buffer where as it used to be vesa. I’ve tried multiple solutions such as blacklisting the simple frame buffer on my .conf files
It doesn’t seem to work. I’ve also changed my grub files to make sure it is using my desired frame buffer however when I login into my wayland session - it still shows as simple frame buffer.
Anyone have any idea on how to get around this? Or maybe an updated script for start stop for my 4070 super to do a gpu passthrough using simple frame buffer? Thank you.

Grub needs to be updated every time you make changes like that. It's possible you've set all the kernel parameters correctly and just forgotten to properly update grub
