That would be the first thing I would want to rule out, too. In GRUB, try "e"diting the boot command sequence and on IIRC the "kernel" line (the one that specifies the kernel and kernel parameters), add one of vga=0; vga=0x0f04 (leave current settings); or vga=ask followed by "scan" at the prompt and then select a reasonable one. See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/svga.html. In /etc/default/console-setup, try setting VIDEOMODE to the empty string. See console-setup(5). -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
