Well, I understand KMS won't work without the radeon module loaded, but it
shouldn't crash, it should give an error message. Starting X with KMS enabled
but module not loaded should either fail with an error message or fallback to
UMS, but it shouldn't freeze the computer.

The weird part is that even if I don't load the module, it gets loaded
automatically when X starts, but I still have a crash.

It's not a major bug since manually loading radeon fixes it, but it's still
annoying when you have a crash and not clear hint on how to fix it.
