I think we need a news item how to fix Radeon kms. What's way you want to recommend?

First of all, Radeon KMS is not ready for production. Like with the intel driver, modesetting can be enabled by using radeon.modeset=1 in the bootflags if KMS is not enabled by default for Radeon. CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y should be disabled. Next issue is problems with Intel KMS. The 2.6.32 kernel contains powermanagement features for intel. These new features are utilized by the driver I uploaded to testing last weekend on hardware that supports it. However, this causes GPU lockups, requiring a reboot now and then. This was reverted in 2.6.33, so we should also revert this. A patch has been posted here: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/67768/ This patch is also committed to the drm-intel git tree, maybe it's easier to fetch the patch from git.kernel.org. Besides these changes, I haven't seen problems with this new kernel, everything has been stable for me for a while now. If we change these two things, I will give a signoff for both architectures.
