The Radeon module works on non-accelerated mode with the modesetting driver instead of the xorg Radeon one.

At /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-radeon.conf:

     Section "Device"
 identifier "Radeon"
 Driver "modesetting"
    EndSection
Bugs may arise, maybe it could be a good idea to disable the Composite extension too.


I guess I confused the issue by referring it as the "radeon driver", but I meant to implicate the radeon.ko kernel module, not the radeon(4) Xorg driver. The servers I'm talking about don't even have X installed (they're Ceph OSD nodes).


Linux libre here. I ran Trisquel on TTY mode to debug issues, I modprobed the radeon module and KMS switched the resolution to a native one in a laptop. Starting X with the radeon driver for X messes everything garbled up. The modesetting driver works, but no GL.

TTY works well before and after KMS.
