KMS is not recommended for ATI at this moment, so we'll ship it disabled by default. There's also no stable non-experimental 2D or 3D stack supporting KMS, so we'll have to do with user mode setting. At this moment, our driver in extra is a stable released version. This released version is rather old, and there's about 10-15 commits on the stable branch that should get applied to the package. This fixes several issues, but hasn't made it into a release.
