Description

Graphical login can fall back to the fbdev driver in Xorg when the default video driver fails. It is useful for recovery situations where SDDM or the desktop cannot start because of graphics driver problems.

This is a failsafe configuration, not a performance feature. fbdev is usually slower and should be treated as a recovery path while the real graphics driver issue is fixed.
