Yes, it is now that legendary time, well loved by the hearts of men for

Tomorrow - 2009-09-09 - is ATI/AMD Radeon graphics card Test Day (1).
Using 2009-09-09 ISO, when passing 'radeon.modeset=1' as boot param, I
get "Unknown boot option 'radeon.modeset=1'. Ignoring..."
Is that expected?
(sending to all lists as this is #1 Top Question...)
Yes, it is. The 'science bit' is that the kernel itself truly doesn't
understand the parameter, which is why you see this message - but the
radeon. prefix means it gets automatically passed on to the radeon
module, which _does_ understand (and interprets) it.
Personally I consider this a kernel bug, it shouldn't display this
message for parameters which will be passed to modules.
Thanks to all who responded with explanation. This indeed is confusing
and I agree with you that this deserves a "bug" status...
radeon.modeset=1 is a no-op, though, modesetting is now default for
Radeon chips. So only radeon.modeset=0 (to disable it) makes any sense.
Did I leave radeon.modeset=1 in one of the test cases?
Errr... I thought I saw it there yesterday but I might be wrong (I have
taken a not of this the day before). I can't see it anywhere today.
BTW: my test report on wiki.
