Debug Graphics

When booting into Bliss for the first time, some users may see a blinking cursor, scrambled graphics, or black screen. These are all signs that your device requires some configuration to get things to run. 
Android-x86, AG & Bliss OS builds all come with a configurable graphics stack that can be used through Grub CLI. 
The main options for configuration are as follows,
Gralloc:
GRALLOC=gbm - Uses GBM  interface (Vulkan mode default)
GRALLOC=minigbm - Uses Minigbm interface
GRALLOC=intel - Uses Intel minigbm interface
GRALLOC=none - Force no Gralloc interface
HW-Composer:
HWC=drm - Standard for versions <= Android 9
HWC=drmfb - Use drm-framebuffer insead
HWC=intel - Used Intel IA HWC
HWC=none - Force no hwcomposer definition 
Grub Examples:
1
label debug
2
	menu label Live CD - ^Debug mode

	kernel /kernel

	append initrd=/initrd.img CMDLINE DEBUG=2 SRC= DATA=
