Maybe change "causes" to "attempts", so that it's clear it has to do something (e.g. add a kernel cmdline option), but the thing doesn't have to succeed ("causes" sounds to me like a successful attempt).
Agree.
At Final we would add this requirement:
"The generic video driver option ('basic graphics mode') on all release-blocking installer and live images must function as intended (launching the installer or desktop and attempting to use a generic driver), and there must be no bugs that clearly prevent the installer or desktop from being reached in this configuration on all systems or on wide classes of hardware."
Here I'd probably remove "attempting" in favor of a stricter "using a generic driver". But even your version sounds ok.
I agree.
OK, I'm gonna go ahead and push this change out with both of Kamil's proposed changes. Thanks folks!
