# STM\_nocheckfb(5)

disable startup checks for framebuffer devices

## NAME

STM\_nocheckfb - disable startup checks for framebuffer devices

## DESCRIPTION

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.
