Kernel log

With Linux kernel 2.6.38, loading the radeon module causes the console to go
completely blank (laptop backlight on, but nothing displayed).  The system
still responds to ctrl-alt-del and reboots.  This is a regression from the
previous kernel, 2.6.37.4, where kernel mode setting works flawlessly.

With radeon.modeset=0, or with the module blacklisted, the system boots fine,
and I can use X, but without the powersaving features available through KMS.

System: Toshiba Satellite A305-S6916
Graphics: ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3650
Kernel: 2.6.38 (x86_64)
