+Seems doable (if a bit hacky), but unfortunately new radeon cards (at
+least cayman/northern islands) do not work without KMS at all (while
+slightly older cards like Evergreen mostly work but without any kind of
+2d/3d acceleration).
+
+This also means that X server will fail to start since it doesn't
+fallback to autodetection (and therefore vesa) when the card is
+explicitely listed in xorg.conf.
+
+Not quite sure what is the best way forward.
+
+
+BTW, shouldn't we regenerate initrds when installing radeon-firmware for
+the first time?
