According to bug 528187 radeon.modeset=0 did not work (but that bug also involved a problem with hald so it might work after all).
The radeon.modeset=0 will only solve the issue for a non functional DRI radeon driver. This means that Xorg will normally start, but desktop effects can not be enabled.
I was just trying to say that having seen bug 528187 report that radeon.modeset=0 was not a recognized kernel option, I did not even bother trying it. Recompiling the kernel with CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS did fix the problem, and the latest kernel from factory (kernel-default-base-2.6.31-1.2) does have KMS disabled.
If Xorg already did not start before you set this cmdline option, then you face the hald bug, which as a different workaround.
Actually on my system the kernel hung long before it even tried to start X. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
