Turning off modesetting basically disables the driver.
Well, in my case, I was using the radeon.modeset=0 variant to rule out issues in x.org. And in my case x.org did start still, albeit with a jacked-up resolution.
But in Laszlo's case, x.org gets "puzzled" too.
Maybe your distro's xorg has some generic vga fallback method. I am not aware that mine (Debian Testing) has one. BTW I use Debian Testing (xfce) and glamor (compiled from git) so i need a specific xorg.conf.
