You should be able to rmmod them with nomodeset, the driver doesn't do any initialisation in that case. though you should boot to runlevel 3 as once X starts the hw will be initialised. Then you need to load radeon with modeset=1 to override it. Dave. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
