With it the resolution and the color depth are set at boot time by the kernel. The Xorg server then uses them. I think the drivers for most cards support KMS and it is on by default. Since you have the same issue with the black screen in virtual consoles I say it is on. It could be turned on/off by the /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf file or kernel boot parameter, but I don't remember the parameter name. > I don't have a "/etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf" file. You could create the file. Bellow is the contents of the file. [1] Each line follows the modprobe configuration syntax. [2] Full list of options for every module is available by the modinfo command. [3] Settings will take effect after restart. [1] $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf options radeon modeset=0 [2] man modprobe.conf [3] modinfo radeon |less > Is "modest=0" a typo, and shouldn't > it be "modeset=0" or "modset=0"? Yes it is a typo. This is my specialty. :) :/ :(
