Unless I add radeon.modeset=0 (i.e. disable KMS) I invariably get a
screen corruption after log-on (using kdm). That is, I can log on but at
that point the screen will ‘black out’ and the computer/X will lock up.

I do not see any screen corruption with kwin using radeon.modeset=0,
though. lshw reports:
