This doesn't seem to work here, as the modeset-parameter never gets
its way to the module, despite /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf saying
"options radeon modeset=1".

Also, in my understanding, if I want a splashscreen to be shown, the
graphics driver moduled needs to be loaded early, right?

Are the directfb-based splash screens such as splahy compatible with
KMS in the first place?

What are you trying to say? You need to be a little bit more verbose
to be actually helpful.
