The motivation for me to built in radeon and the firmware was to get
the complete boot protocol on screen. If you compile the kms stuff
as a module and load the firmware from /lib/firmware the bootscreen
starts later on, you have no bootlogo, but it works ;-) And please
notice that my config uses the pata drivers and the hd-led function
via a separate patch, though.
