Starting with 2.6.33rc7, the mainline Linux kernel starts using KMS on my rig (Radeon HD 4350). However, some needed firmware files are missing, which makes radeon DRM to fail to load. Please see here for more details:
How to reproduce: use the mainline kernel in Lucid, with a radeon R600 card, and you'll find that 3D hardware acceleration works well up until 2.6.33rc6, and it stops working from rc7 on. The fix is very simple.
