+# Launch specified OSes in graphics mode. By default, rEFInd switches
+# to text mode and displays basic pre-launch information when launching
+# all OSes except OS X. Using graphics mode can produce a more seamless
+# transition, but displays no information, which can make matters
+# difficult if you must debug a problem. Also, on at least one known
+# computer, using graphics mode prevents a crash when using the Linux
+# kernel's EFI stub loader. You can specify an empty list to boot all
+# OSes in text mode.
+# Valid options:
+# osx - Mac OS X
