+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Name : x11-driver-video-ati Relocations: (not relocatable)
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Version : 7.0.0 Vendor: Mageia.Org
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Release : 2.mga3 Build Date: Mon Nov 26 15:52:14 2012
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Note to all ati users...
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Beginning with 7.0.0 series, this driver is KMS only.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> so UMS mode (&quot;nokms&quot;) is no more useful with this driver....
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> IIRC we will also need to update display_driver_helper (and maybe drakx)
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> to cope with this fact...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I'll disable the hack in display_driver_helper...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> But should we now have ldetect-lst fallback to vesa on all radeon cards
+</I>&gt;<i> if no fw installed (&quot;DRIVER_NO_FIRMWARE vesa&quot;)?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> According to the kernel driver code (AFAICS, that is) it should fallback
+</I>&gt;<i> to no acceleration in case of no firmware, but at least some time ago
+</I>&gt;<i> that apparently didn't happen properly...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+I think we need to fallback to vesa, as it does not matter if the kernel
+part works without firmware in ums mode, as the x11 driver wont support
+it anyway, making the x11-server start fail .
