I'd like to finally get that page fully up-to-date. radeon still supports both modes of operation, though bugs reported against non-kms code will most likely end up in the bin in favour of fixing kms bugs. > > Another question: What is the correct behaviour when the kernel parameter > "nomodeset" is used and the driver doesn't support this?

I think it should fall back to vesa by default, but not sure why intel works different, I think nouveau may check for modesetting support earlier and bail when fallback is possible.
