+Some systems (especially laptops) that have a native resolution that is not
+a 4:3 ratio (i.e. not for example 800x600 or 1024x768) may have a blank
+display after the installer has been booted. In that case adding the boot

+The parameter <userinput>vga=788</userinput> will activate the VESA
+framebuffer with a resolution of 800x600. This will probably work, but may
+not be the optimal resolution for your system. A list of supported
+resulutions can be obtained by using <userinput>vga=ask</userinput>, but
+you should be aware that list may not be complete.

If your screen begins to show a weird picture while the kernel boots,
eg. pure white, pure black or colored pixel garbage, your system may
contain a problematic video card which does not switch to the
framebuffer mode properly. Then you can use the boot parameter
-<userinput>fb=false video=vga16:off</userinput> to disable the framebuffer
+<userinput>fb=false</userinput> to disable the framebuffer
console. Only a reduced set of
languages will be available during the installation due to limited
console features. See <xref linkend="boot-parms"/> for details.
