- Whether to activate VESA video mode on boot.
+ (Deprecated) This option, if set, activates the VESA 800x600 video
+ mode on boot and disables kernel modesetting. It is equivalent to
+ specifying <literal>[ "vga=0x317" "nomodeset" ]</literal> in the
+ <option>boot.kernelParams</option> option. This option is
+ deprecated as of 2020: Xorg now works better with modesetting, and
+ you might want a different VESA vga setting, anyway.
