6 Choose this option if you want kernel modesetting enabled by default.

8 This is a completely new driver. It's only part of the existing drm
9 for compatibility reasons. It requires an entirely different graphics
10 stack above it and works very differently from the old drm stack.
11 i.e. don't enable this unless you know what you are doing it may
12 cause issues or bugs compared to the previous userspace driver stack.
13
14 When kernel modesetting is enabled the IOCTL of radeon/drm
15 driver are considered as invalid and an error message is printed
16 in the log and they return failure.
17
18 KMS enabled userspace will use new API to talk with the radeon/drm
19 driver. The new API provide functions to create/destroy/share/mmap
20 buffer object which are then managed by the kernel memory manager
21 (here TTM). In order to submit command to the GPU the userspace
22 provide a buffer holding the command stream, along this buffer
23 userspace have to provide a list of buffer object used by the
24 command stream. The kernel radeon driver will then place buffer
25 in GPU accessible memory and will update command stream to reflect
26 the position of the different buffers.
27
28 The kernel will also perform security check on command stream
29 provided by the user, we want to catch and forbid any illegal use
30 of the GPU such as DMA into random system memory or into memory
31 not owned by the process supplying the command stream.

30 Choose this option if you have an ATI Radeon graphics card. There
31 are both PCI and AGP versions. You don't need to choose this to
32 run the Radeon in plain VGA mode.

34 If M is selected, the module will be called radeon.
