OK, then there is no other way than fixing those drivers to deal with the blanking... I cooked up an experimental patch for bochs, and will submit later. thanks, Takashi

Uh we're supposed to fix these drivers to actually blank (scan out
black, worst case), not paper over it in higher levels. Atomic kms is
meant to be a somewhat useful abstraction. So now fbcon blanks, but
your desktop still just freezes.

Yeah that's because atomic assume you can at least blank your screen to black.

[PATCH] drm: Fix fbcon blank on QEMU graphics drivers
Currently the DRM fbcon helper for console blank,
drm_fb_helper_blank(), simply calls drm_fb_helper_dpms() and always
returns zero, supposing the driver dealing with DPMS or atomic
crtc->active flip to handle blanking the screen. It works on most of
devices, but broken on most of KVM/QEMU graphics: bochs, qxl and
cirrus drivers just ignore crtc->active state change as blanking (or
cirrus ignoring DPMS). In practice, when you run like
% setterm --blank force
on a VT console, the screen freezes without actually blanking.
A simple fix for this problem would be not to rely on DPMS but let
fbcon performs the generic blank code. This can be achieved just by
returning an error from drm_fb_helper_blank().
In this patch, we add a flag, no_dpms_blank, to drm_fb_helper for
indicating that the driver doesn't handle blank via DPMS or
crtc->active flip. When this flag is set, drm_fb_helper_blank()
simply returns an error, so that fbcon falls back to its generic blank
handler. The flag is set to both bochs and qxl drivers in this patch,
while cirrus is left untouched as it's declared as to-be-deprecated.

Here I whip a dead horse again, revisiting the long-standing issue
stated in the previous patch set in 2017:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20170726205636.19144-1-ti...@suse.de/
I thought to refresh the previous patch set at first, but it seems
invalid for the atomic modeset case. And for the atomic, it's even
more difficult to propagate the return from the bottom to up.
So I ended up with this approach as it's much simpler.
But if there is any better way (even simpler or more robust), I'd
happily rewrite, too.
