fedora "lovelock" could detect the video card properly and use the Gallium driver with Gnome 3

KernelModeSetting works for me (*MSI U210*)

KMS with a Radeon card

Add radeon.modeset=1 to your BootOptions to enable KMS (and DRI2) with the ati/radeon driver.

For Grub2 on Ubuntu 9.10 and later:

    sudo nano /etc/default/grub.

    Add radeon.modeset=1 to the end of the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=.

    Then sudo update-grub
