Hi,

Since xf86-video-intel 2.21.11 (June 30, 2013), fastboot is possible for
Intel HD Graphics which means that it is theorically possible to keep
the same screen resolution during all the boot sequence. [1]

However this benefit is still not available in Debian whrereas it could
give a more robust, "more professional" look to its boot sequence.

Moreover, with Linux 3.15, Fastboot will also be available for Haswell
and Broadwell hardware. [2]

Could it be possible to enable this feature within Debian ?

Thanks
