also add "nomodeset" to the GRUB_CMDLINE*A
was not necessary at install time, but seems to be necessary now, don't know why
Nomodeset disables the kernel's integral video mode setting/switching/handling (KMS). With KMS disabled, FOSS video drivers for Intel, AMD/ATI and NVidia gfxchips are disabled. With those drivers disabled, X runs using a crippled driver (FBDEV or VESA) and mode (4:3 aspect modes only). With KMS disabled, widescreen modes modern displays use are not available, unless using a proprietary UMS driver that requires KMS be disabled. The only UMS driver I'm familiar with that requires KMS be disabled is NVidia, and by now disabling KMS for it may be automatic and unneeded on the cmdline. IOW, for most users, nomodeset is a troubleshooting parameter, so should not be included on kernel cmdline for the default Grub stanza. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
