Not true. KMS has nothing to do with initrd. Driver itself handles that. If you probe driver in initrd, it will get activated there. If you probe it with udev, it will get activated a bit later. If you modprobe it manually, it will get activated. > LFS doesn't have an initrd, but you can always implement it whetever > you want in your own LFS distro, like I did with mine.
