So I bought a new Dell laptop and I wanted to install Kali on it. There's some kind of configuration issue where Kali does not detect the laptop screen. The machine I think is set to use the primary laptop screen and the HDMI. Kali doesn't know which one to use so it just black screens after boot. Some laptops you can fix issues like this in the BIOs. The new Dell BIOs really sucks and you can't.

Questions:

1. Is there a boot parameter I can use? if so what is it?

2. Is there a config file I can write into that will handle this? And secondly can I fix this in some config file if I live build my ISO and make it "just work" on first boot?

Keep in mind I didn't go to Linux college like some of you guys.

Thanks in advance for any help.
