Maybe just my english crashed.. So you want to say: - without fglrx everything works - without fglrx you do NOT have got KMS availble? - did you purged fglrx? With fglrx installed (and not purged) KMS is not available, because of /etc/modprobe.d/fglrx-blacklists-radeon.conf > > If and when your system breaks, (lets say you fubared a /var/tmp or /tmp entry > in /etc/fstab or the rootfs gets mounted ro instead or rw) you get the console > in a working state.It only breaks terminal output when using X11 under init- > level 5.

With fglrx installed nomodeset is already the default value. -- /* Mit freundlichem Gruß / With kind regards, Patrick Matthäi GNU/Linux Debian Developer Blog: http://www.linux-dev.org/ E-Mail: pmatth...@debian.org patr...@linux-dev.org */
