It would seem so, but it is the right information. I double checked that it is right by booting without the video kernel parameter and running dmesg.
Okay, so I think your original problem is because the Xorg fbdev driver uses the colour depth from console by default, and I guess the login manager you're using can't deal with that. You may want to report that against the login manager package, but you probably want to use a higher colour depth anyway. So you need to change it, either for console as you've been doing, or just for X in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or by having the login manager pass -depth XX on the Xorg command line.
I got the same radeonfb lines that you show in your message. I think that's part of the problem, radeonfb is compiled into the kernel and active when drm/radeon are being used?
Right, to use radeon KMS, you need to disable radeonfb with video=radeonfb:off on the kernel command line. That should give you at least 2D hardware acceleration, but suspend/resume won't work.
