Valid terminal output names depend on the platform, but may include `console` (PC BIOS and EFI consoles), `serial` (serial terminal), `gfxterm` (graphics-mode output), `ofconsole` (Open Firmware console), or `vga_text` (VGA text output, mainly useful with Coreboot).
The default is to use the platform's native terminal output.
In Fedora, `gfxterm` is the default options. To get the legacy graphics modes:
.Procedure
. Edit the `/etc/default/grub` file.
. Set the `GRUB_TERMINAL` variable to one of the above mentioned options.
