10 What version was the previous kernel? These two options appeared
11 recently and are capable of clobbering your console:
12
13 * Mark VGA/VBE/EFI FB as generic system framebuffer (X86_SYSFB)
14 * Simple framebuffer support (FB_SIMPLE)

16 The first time I set them incorrectly, I got a blank screen until XFCE
17 popped up.
