"Adding the nomodeset parameter instructs the kernel to not load video drivers and use BIOS modes instead until X is loaded."

Based on this, it seems once the desktop is loaded it would not be in use.
From the other replies it shows how the commands discussed can affect a range of hardware after boot.
Well, this laptop has been a PITA. This was really the second *nix o/s I could get installed. Tried a dozen others, all crashed at some point during install or boot. Was able to get this installed, but wouldn't boot (to a display). I have the error written somewhere, but googling it said to add nomodeset. I'll see if I can find the error, maybe you have a different idea, but without nomodeset, I get a black screen on boot, nothing else..
