+With recent kernels (2.6.32+) and radeon driver (6.13+) Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) is supported. But note that for working suspend/resume support it is needed to force AGP 1X mode by passing {{bootparm|radeon.agpmode|1}} at boot time. This can effect performance in some cases, particular FPS games that use large textures (Quake, World of Padman, etc).
