[   14.950149] NVRM: on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver
[   14.950150] NVRM: requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console
[   14.950152] NVRM: drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in
[   14.950153] NVRM: corruption and stability problems, and is not supported.
