This doesn't seem to work here, as the modeset-parameter never gets its way to the module, despite /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf saying "options radeon modeset=1". Also, in my understanding, if I want a splashscreen to be shown, the graphics driver moduled needs to be loaded early, right? Are the directfb-based splash screens such as splahy compatible with KMS in the first place?

You need to be a little bit more verbose to be actually helpful. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
