Public bug reported: Whenever I try to enable KMS using these parameters "radeon.modeset=1 video=offb:off video=radeonfb:off radeon.agpmode=-1" My machine freezes. I have not had this issue with iBook or my PowerBook. However if I turn off hardware acceleration in Xorg: Option "NoAccel" "False". Then KMS is enabled but I am in Software Rasterizer. You hardware accleration to have XVid working or you are forced to X11 for video playback. There any way to get hardware acceleration working on this video card?
