Makes no difference with 2.6.32-trunk-amd or 2.6.30-2-amd64.
However, when I manually execute
modprobe -r radeon
modprobe radeon modeset=1
using 2.6.32-trunk-amd I see the request and loading for/of the radeon
firmware. After that my terminal screen goes into high resolution (the
LCD's native 1600x1200 I guess). I cannot (re)start gdm however. I
cannot determine why because I have to reboot to get a usable machine.
