Warning message about Text mode VGA console

English Hardware
1

I’ve found the following warning in dmesg:

NVRM: “Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console
on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver
requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console
drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in
corruption and stability problems, and is not supported.”

I’ve had some problems with instability so I would be grateful for info about how to do the required configuration.

You’ll lose resolution and as a consequence have massive fonts / lowres in a VT if you do this:

Add to grub’s linux line as a kernel parameter; video=vesa:off vga=normal

Fix from the (usually) friendly folks at ArchLinux. Note; make backups before you edit anything.

Should check my posts, that’s:

video=vesa:off vga=normal

Many thanks. I’ll give it a try.
