KMS crashes for me. I get a black screen and keyboard frozen if I start Xorg with this kernel. Disabled KMS in modprobe.conf solves the problem. I have posted the bug on kernel.org : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14335
So I don't think that radeon KMS by default is safe.

If any of the radeon code is being pulled from the radeonhd source (git repository) then it is NOT safe at present because a lot of laptops with the RS690M cards simply black screen when the radeonhd driver loads as well.
Just thought I would pass it along.
drm code in kernel26 is plain vanilla from kernel.org releases. -Andy
