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:
label debug
	menu label Live CD - ^Debug mode
	kernel /kernel
	append initrd=/initrd.img CMDLINE DEBUG=2 SRC= DATA=
​
label debug_gbm
	menu label Live CD - Debug mode gralloc.gbm
	kernel /kernel
	append initrd=/initrd.img CMDLINE DEBUG=2 SRC= DATA= GRALLOC=gbm
​
label debug_drmfb-composer
	menu label Live CD - Debug mode drmfb-composer gralloc.gbm
	kernel /kernel
	append initrd=/initrd.img CMDLINE DEBUG=2 SRC= DATA= HWC=drmfb GRALLOC=gbm
​
label debug_hwc_gbm
	menu label Live CD - Debug mode hwcomposer.drm gralloc.gbm
	kernel /kernel
	append initrd=/initrd.img CMDLINE DEBUG=2 SRC= DATA= HWC=drm GRALLOC=gbm
​
label debug_minigbm
	menu label Live CD - Debug mode gralloc.minigbm
	kernel /kernel
	append initrd=/initrd.img CMDLINE DEBUG=2 SRC= DATA= GRALLOC=minigbm
​
label debug_hwc_minigbm
	menu label Live CD - Debug mode hwcomposer.drm_minigbm gralloc.minigbm
	kernel /kernel

​
label debug_intel
	menu label Live CD - Debug mode hwcomposer.intel gralloc.intel
	kernel /kernel
	append initrd=/initrd.img CMDLINE DEBUG=2 SRC= DATA= HWC=intel GRALLOC=intel
