Summary: "Earlier this year Fedora 9 was the first distribution
providing kernel-based mode-setting (or KMS for short). At the time
there was only a kernel mode-setting driver for Intel hardware and it
ended up being disabled by default. We had provided a preview of
kernel-based mode-setting that showed how the system display looked when
it came to the flicker-free boot experience, fast and clean VT
switching, and the technical advantages this method provides over the
graphics mode-setting within an X.Org DDX driver. With months having
passed since our first article and Red Hat engineers working
aggressively on KMS improvements for Fedora 10, we are providing another
look at this technology and some of the recent advancements."
