update after upgrading to lucid:

KMS is now getting turned on automatically (I can see it in my dmesg
output), and so the bug is fixed from the standpoint that I no longer
get a black background and no full screen apps. I do still get
artifacts, but so far (a little less than a day) no freezes, so desktop
effects are at least usable (before, i had a choice between black
background or occasional freezes).

The other, larger problem, is that I now have horrible performance when
scaling a video to fullscreen with desktop effects on.  With desktop
effects off, fullscreen video works, but video performance otherwise
(most noticeably moving windows) is terrible.

I do not believe I had this problem under karmic when I set both KMS and
desktop effects on, but I never tested for it specifically.
