(sending to all lists as this is #1 Top Question...)

Yes, it is. The 'science bit' is that the kernel itself truly doesn't
understand the parameter, which is why you see this message - but the
radeon. prefix means it gets automatically passed on to the radeon
module, which _does_ understand (and interprets) it.

Personally I consider this a kernel bug, it shouldn't display this
message for parameters which will be passed to modules.

radeon.modeset=1 is a no-op, though, modesetting is now default for
Radeon chips. So only radeon.modeset=0 (to disable it) makes any sense.
Did I leave radeon.modeset=1 in one of the test cases?
