Proposal:
KMS on openSUSE 11.3
--------------------
With openSUSE 11.3 we're switching to KMS (=Kernel mode switching) for Intel,
ATI and NVIDIA graphics, so this is our default now. If you see any problems
with the KMS driver support (intel, radeon, nouveau), you can disable KMS by
specifying 'nomodeset' on the kernel boot command line. Set it permanently by
adding it to /boot/grub/menu.lst. This option makes sure the appropriate kernel
module (intel, radeon, nouveau) is loaded with option 'modeset=0' in initrd,
i.e. KMS is disabled.
In the rare cases where loading the DRM module in initrd is a general problem
(unrelated to KMS) it is even possbile to disable loading of the DRM module
in initrd completely. For this set the sysconfig variable NO_KMS_IN_INITRD to
"yes" via YAST, which then recreates initrd afterwards. Reboot your machine.
On Intel without KMS the Xserver falls back to "fbdev" driver ("intel" only
supports KMS). On ATI for current GPUs it falls back to "radeonhd". On NVIDIA
with KMS the "nv" driver is used ("nouveau" only supports KMS).
