ATi wiki and KMS
Since there is NO kms support for ATi cards, should we remove the KMS related sections in the ATi wiki ?

Re: ATi wiki and KMS
i think that default there is no support but you can always enable it by appending something on boot.
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: ATi wiki and KMS
That means that there is no automatic KMS, but there is KMS ?

Can you? I failed to spot it in the wiki - any chance of sharing your info?

*Sigh*
I grow tired of the ATi regression and look forward to a time when using an ATi card will be a no-brainer...before I die.

Re: ATi wiki and KMS
Hello world.
This week I installed kernel 2.6.32.2-2 from testing. I added "radeon.modeset=1" at the end of the kernel-line in my menu.lst and added "radeon" to the modules in my rc.conf. This gave me the "late start" KMS without problems (didn't get the early start working).
Should I follow the modified steps in the Wiki or can I leave it as it is?

Seems to be it's not OK, in glxgears I dropped from around 1250 fps to 550 fps. I will try the steps from the wiki.
