I should also clarify what I'm seeing, as it's not complete garbage as I thought. I have a dual monitor setup, side-by-side using xrandr. When I start X (xfce4) with drm available, the left monitor (primary) is a sold light shade of blue, except for a black corner which is maybe 10pix square. The right monitor displays my typical background image with another black box over part of it. If it shift back to the console and then back into X, I can see the outlines of my startup windows, but they contain garbage and the outlines are fuzzed with green and magenta garbage.
