My earlier attempts at getting kms were flawed due to having nouveau-drm
and xf86-video-nouveau installed. I have a notebook with an nvidia card
and another one with an ati card, the usb disk I use for emergency
recovery/testing was supposed to be general but it seems it can't be,
anyway, I have removed that now and (late) kms does start, however
radeon_ucode from aur is needed if I want to have dri and xv working
with my RV610 (radeon hd2400). With a X600XT (r300) everything works
fine without installing radeon_ucode.

Sorry for the earlier noise about kms not working. The need for
radeon_ucode for some cards should be advertised with an install message
(at least until aur packages are no longer needed to get everything
working as well as possible imho).
