Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release:        9.10

Just right now I tried out the Karmic Alpha3 LiveCD because I was courios to checkout Kernel Modesetting for Radeon based cards.. 
The good thing is, it works :-) 
The bad thing is, desktop-effects dont :-(

Looking at my logs I found that KMS was enabled correct, I added to boot
radeon.modeset=1

- 2009-08-06 18:34:07   ubuntu  kernel  [   43.548950] [drm] radeon
kernel modesetting enabled.

looking in my xorg.log I found these three lines after eachother, that
would lead to why desktop-effects dont work..

- Error	RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version mismatch.
-	Information	[dri] radeon.o kernel module version is 2.0.0 but version 1.17.0 or newer is needed.
-	Information	[dri] Disabling DRI.

But look at the 2nd line........ hmmmmmm ??? 2.0.0 is newer than 1.17.0
and because of this it disables dri..
