Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon

When booting with radeon.modeset=1, KMS works, but X refuses to use DRI due to a version mismatch:
[dri] radeon.o kernel module version is 2.0.0 but version 1.17.0 or newer is needed.

When not using KMS, DRI (not DRI2) initializes correctly.

It looks like the kernel module supports DRI2, and from what I have
heard, there was at least some DRI2 support for radeon GPUs under
development in November, so it ought to be here by now.  I have not
tested with the xorg-edgers PPA.

At the very least, the error message should be changed so that it does
not claim that 2.0.0<1.17.0.

I am running Kubuntu 9.10 installed from Alpha 2, up to date as of July
15.
