Ok, I got it now. Putting radeon into MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf wasn't enough, I had to put intel_agp in there as well. Now it works this way.
But there's still something to discuss: When my mkinitcpio.conf looks like this
MODULES="intel_agp radeon" BINARIES="" HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata filesystems"
udev uevents takes about 3700ms at boottime. But as soon as I add
FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf"
with a
options radeon modeset=1
in the modprobe.conf, it takes only about 800ms.
I guess if we get enough input from many testers, it might be ok to activate kms for radeon by default. Those guys, who have problems, might consider trying it again with this stuff I found out, maybe that solves your problems too.

Hi, I've got another problem with the latest kernel26, and my vga is HD3200 (RS780). It appears that the Xv-acceleration's been disabled in the new kernel, because my xvinfo command says that there's no available Xv adapter in the system. (but I still had it when it was 2.6.31.1).
I'm using the new xf86-video-ati driver with xorg, and had added a "radeon" entry into the module section of mkinitcpio.conf. What more could be done for me to get the Xv output back?

Maybe this is related to http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2009-October/013773.h... So try disabling kms.
