(Get the code!)
Not sure that I made it clear in my comments, but I'm using a completely different card ( HD4350 ) and so the glaring commonality was the monitor.
Just to prove it, I've just dug out a different monitor - this one is a Dell IN2010N at 1600x900... lo and behold this monitor works with KMS enabled. So I can't say for sure because I know nothing about the code, but "something to do with dual link DVI" would seem to be the most likely conclusion!
One other thing that I've noticed... at 2560x1600 on the 30 inch ( obviously with UMS ) I get really bad screen corruption in pretty much all apps. Scrolling pages seems to result in the bitmap not matching what was on screen previously, and so when you move the mouse over parts of the scrolled window it becomes obvious that what you see isn't what X actually thinks is there. Also, the KMail icon menu just completely corrupts after a ( short ) while, and again moving the mouse over it brings back the icons as they animate for the mouse over action. I realise that this may be a completely different bug, but I mention it because with the 1600x900 monitor and KMS it seems to not be happening...
