Thank you for that info.

What kind of integrated VGA?
( example Intel i915, i965, etc. )
.
The reason I ask is that the EFI framebuffer you have enabled should be
built into a specific video driver.
My system has an "amdgpu" video card.
The EFI framebuffer driver for the console is enabled.
The specific video driver called "amdgpu" is also enabled.
The EFI framebuffer is built as a sub-component of the specific video
driver "amdgpu".

If you haven't already run this command, please do so : lspci | grep -i VGA
.
If the video device is a 'Aspeed ASTxxxx', the version number of the
kernel you are using makes a big difference.

For Intel video devices, this wiki may help :
