Linux 6.12 Lands QR Code For DRM Panic Messages, Intel LNL & BMG Graphics Enabled
The Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) kernel graphics/display driver updates have been submitted and already merged for the in-development Linux 6.12 kernel.
Linux 6.12 DRM is notable at the core level for adding optional support for displaying QR-code based kernel error messages via the DRM Panic infrastructure when running into a kernel error rather than just a large wall of text that is often cut off by the display size. Now a convenient QR code is displayed that is much easier to snap a picture of rather than trying to immediately decipher all of the text. See the DRM pull for the full list of kernel graphics/display driver updates found in Linux 6.12.
