What is KMS and how do I enable it?

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d only contains  00-system-setup-keyboard.conf

(/etc/X11/xorg.conf),  I do not see KMS in there at all. How would I 
enable it?

 From lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility 
Radeon 9600 M10]

 From /boot/grub/grub.conf:

title Fedora (2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686)
         root (hd0,1)
         kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686 ro 
root=UUID=99c4a1b1-99c2-40e6-8d2c-44bba67ad7df nomodeset 
SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=us
         initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.img

And finally /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 skroot root 4978 Mar 27 18:07 /etc/X11/xorg.conf

As you can see from the date, it was touched during the upgrade to fc14.
