I'll have to dig to try and find the article, but I'm sure it was in an interview with one of the Fedora/RedHat developers that was working on enabling kernel mode-setting. It was along the lines of mode-setting will be pushed into the kernel, and once all drivers support GEM, they won't need mode-setting on their own, as randr would take care of changing resolutions at runtime. But I may be mis-remembering things or confusing things. I'll see if I can find the article, I'm sure it was linked from osnews.com.
