+ <para>
+ When troubleshooting problems with graphical boot, one
+ step is to disable the kernel mode setting feature.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Adding <command>nomodeset</command> to the kernel boot prompt in
+ <code>grub</code> disables modesetting. This can be specified
+ during normal boot by entering the <code>GRUB</code> menu and
+ appending <command>nomodeset</command> to the line that begins
+ <code>kernel /vmlinuz...</code>. It can be disabled in
+ configuration by adding the <command>nomodeset</command> option
+ to the same line in <filename>/etc/grub.conf</filename>.
+ </para>

+ If you are having problems with the graphical boot, be sure to
