Subject: [PATCH v3 5/6] Documentation/admin-guide: Document nomodeset kernel parameter
Date: Mon,  8 Nov 2021 13:15:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211108121544.776590-6-javierm@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211108121544.776590-1-javierm@redhat.com>

The nomodeset kernel command line parameter is not documented. Its name
is quite vague and is not intuitive what's the behaviour when it is set.

Document in kernel-parameters.txt what actually happens when nomodeset
is used. That way, users could know if they want to enable this option.
