[PATCH] drm/radeon: restore nomodeset operation (v2) - dri-devel - freedesktop.org experimental mailing list

15 May 2013

From: Dave Airlie airlied@redhat.com
When UMS was deprecated it removed support for nomodeset commandline
we really want this in distro land so we can debug stuff, everyone
should fallback to vesa correctly.
v2: oops -1 isn't used anymore, restore original behaviour
-1 is default, so we can boot with nomodeset on the command line,
then use radeon.modeset=1 to override it for debugging later.
