Re: radeonfb question solved

The information was all over the place.  I read that KMS drivers take 
care of framebuffers themselves on one site.  It seems like I was forced 
to choose a console framebuffer too in order to make the radeon X driver 
work.  That would explain why unloading radeonfb had no effect. 
Whatever, I'm not going to try again right away.
The solution was passing a boot parameter.  Ultimately, I used xrandr to 
tell me the connector name.  So, it was video=VGA-1:width x height...
Hooray.

Adios,  DW
