Hello,
Could anyone please explain ATI KMS wiki page:
1) What kind of KMS start is more preferrably, early or late? And wich should I try to use first?
2) There is strange reference to package radeon-initrd in AUR, wich does not exists. So... is this extra microcode really required? In both early and late start methods? And if yes then how can I install it?
Best regards,
Ajunta.

Why don't you try one and see how it works for you?
The late start option seems pretty straightforward...

radeon-initrd is no longer required.

I can't make early kms work.
I have a post somewhere where nobody answered:
Hi ppl.
Sorry for hijacking the current flow of ideas, but i reinstalled the system recently and now i can't get KMS early start.
On the wiki page about mkinitcpio it says to add the hook firmware, but on creating the initrd it fails because it says it doesn't exist.
On the wiki page about ati it says to use the package radeon-initrd. Well this package no longer exists, i know it worked because i used it in the previous install.
So, i have an ati that should need to load the firmware for early start for what i understand, how should i do it? I don't think that just adding the radeon module to the modules array in the mkinitcpio.conf is enough but didn't try.
Thanks for the help ^^
Any help apreciated.
Late start works fine and automatically when udev starts to load so no problem there.
