From db08490fc4b6695ada6c21e40343307f08d9620e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier Martinez Canillas Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2021 14:32:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm: Make the nomodeset message less sensational The message printed when nomodeset is present in the kernel command line makes it look as if the parameter must never be used and it's a bad idea. But there are valid reasons to use this parameter and the message should not imply otherwise. Change the text to be more accurate and restrained.
