Cc'ing drm.

I conclude further tests.

* Linux 2.6.35-rc2
- fbcon:radeondrmfb using "modprobe radeon modeset=1"
  - sound ok
- Xorg (7.4) with 'radeonhd'
  - fbcon ok, no sound in Xorg - I figure radeonhd is obsolete
- Xorg with 'radeon'
  - fbcon ok, xorg ok.
    There is a small breakdown when switching between fbcon and xorg

* Linux 2.6.33.5
- like 2.6.35-rc2, but had a bug that prevented radeon.ko to go into 
  graphics mode when initially loaded; workaround: modprobe fglrx;
  rmmod fglrx; modprobe radeon modeset=1
- or fglrx, also makes sound work

- fglrx bug aside: switching from Xorg to console (either 80x25 or
  radeondrmfb) makes a fugly "pop" noise, and if the target is
  radeomdrmfb, display is garbled.


So I'm happy.
Conclusive questions however:

* Why is it that I am only allowed to have sound in graphics mode?

* The radeon.ko module does not have any PCI IDs defined, thus does not 
get autoloaded like i915.ko. Is this intentional? It also seems
to default to modeset=0.
