Dear Maintainer,

When booting the debian-12.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso image in VirtualBox
(7.0.8-dfsg-2 from unstable/contrib) under UEFI and selecting
the Graphical Install (default) option, Xorg fails to start,
apparently due to being incorrectly configured or incorrectly detecting
the hardware.

I can't copy and paste from my virtualbox screen, but will add a
screenshot in a reply.

According to someone experiencing the same issue, a workaround is to set
para-virtualization to legacy in virtualbox settings.
