Oh ok, but they should all be loaded by default?
When installing on a host, if the video output isn’t active by the UEFI/BIOS then nothing will load.
There are certain motherboards where it’s necessary to add a dummy HDMI plug to simulate a display connected.
Without knowing all the details, anything further would be speculation on my part but fundamentally, the OS will need a display device of some sort active (UEFI/BIOS activated at power-on) for it to use as the foundation on what will be loaded.
Breaking it down, consider:
“Workstation” knows there will be a video head for the user so the X server is set to load. With it all the downstream dependencies, all the way to the hardware, are added.
The same type thing happens when a package is installed.
If the package has dependencies, those dependencies are installed too.
Workstation depends on “Display”, “keyboard”, “mouse” , “HDD”, “memory”.
Display depends on “Display Manager”
Display Manager depends on video driver.
etc
etc
it’s a chain of dependencies which the OS installer resolves when it decides what is to be loaded. It does this based on what it finds active on the host at time of installation.
