--- Comment #2 from Elmar Stellnberger estellnb@gmail.com 2012-03-03 16:10:57 --- As far as I have tested it on my machine the radeon module needs to be loaded with KMS enabled (no radeon.modeset=0 parameter) to get the video kernel-cmdline option interpreted (/proc/cmdline). If you f.i. need to use uvesafb instead give the following option: uvesafb.mode_option=1600x1200-24@60 (1920x1200 is no Vesa mode). The same parameters can be given on modeprobe leaving the module name (radeon., uvesafb.) out (/usr/src/linux-ver/Documentation/fb).
