STM_nocheckfb(5)

STM_nocheckfb5

Disable startup checks for framebuffer devices

Overview

If the file /etc/default/STM_nocheckfb exists at boot, then SVGATextMode will be started even if a framebuffer device has been reported by /proc/fb
The default behavior of a standard Debian installation is to not run STM if framebuffer device(s) are active at boot. This is probably what you want.
Override this only if you know what you are doing or are desperate to find some way to crash your Debian system.
