Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
An upgrade from Bookworm 6.1.40-amd64 to trixie 6.12.48+deb13-amd64 and then to
6.12.57+deb13-amd64
  *What did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
To the GRUb menu configuration file , i added to the "linux" line the parameter
"nomodeset"
   * What was the outcome of this action?
it boots to GNOME enviroment, probably with less capable screen analysis
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Hi Giorgos,

you reached the default Debian developer mailing list, because you
didn't have specified an affected Debian package.  It seems that you
like to reach the Linux kernel package maintainers.  Therefore I
reassign your issue.

Additionally, for current laptop computers it is required to enable
"mode setting" in the kernel, because often there are more than one
GPUs are installed and normally the laptop display needs to be
multiplexed to current rendering GPU, done by the graphics card
driver.

Here an short introduction what Kernel Mode Setting is

  * https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_mode_setting

For further information, hopefully the Debian Linux kernel maintainers
will be answer after reassigning this report.

Greets, Dirk
