Hi,

"Enabled by default on Fedora 11 will be Intel kernel mode-setting 
(along with the ATI kernel mode-setting that can already be found in 
Fedora 10). More on this is also available from the Fedora Wiki. ATI 
kernel mode-setting has been enabled since Fedora 10, but in Leonidas 
the support will be extended to support KMS on ATI R100/200 hardware.

Kernel mode-setting allows for a nice, flicker-free boot process with 
the Plymouth project, fast VT switching, improved suspend and resume 
support, and other benefits. Kernel mode-setting is also a prerequisite 
for running the Wayland Display Server. "
