For me kdm displays properly if I disable glx/dri. And I have stability issues with enabled glx/dri, X freezes sometimes, probably when the load is somewhat higher (can't reproduce). I hope that the r128 issues will be fixed before release. Otherwise Mdk should disable glx/dri. If so, it would be nice, if users could find a note.
