I'm testing 2.6.32-020632-generic from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/ with RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE]

kms is not enabled by default and the desktop is still black.

enabling radeon modeset=1 option fixes the black background but
unfortunately visual effects can't be enabled. I could only enable
metacity compositing.

performances are very good, no flash video problems and the system seems
stable.
