| :Linux kernels since 2012 have moved the video "mode setting" into the kernel. Programming of the hardware specific clock rates and registers on the video card happen in the kernel rather than in the X driver when the X server starts. This makes it possible to have high resolution, nice looking splash (boot) screens and flicker free transitions from boot splash to login screen. Unfortunately, on some cards this doesnt work properly and you end up with a black screen. Adding the <code>nomodeset</code> parameter instructs the kernel to not load video drivers and use BIOS modes instead until X is loaded.
