Userspace is not a problem here, many distributions have GL implementation
switch tools already.

I have users reporting that 6.14.4 suffers from the problem reported here.
Basically, radeon.ko is loaded by X with KMS enabled, (CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=n
but modprobe.d/ contains "options radeon modeset=1") but X fails to start with:

(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version mismatch.
[dri] This chipset requires a kernel module version of 1.17.0,
[dri] but the kernel reports a version of 2.16.0.[dri] Make sure your module is
loaded prior to starting X, and
[dri] that this driver was built with support for KMS.
[dri] Aborting.

The problem is that xf86-video-ati is built with KMS and radeon.ko loads with
modeset=1 but still, X fails to load due to the initialization (bug?) issue
reported by the OP. Restarting X fixes the problem. I do think there is
something to fix here and it would be nice to at least fix this chicken/egg
issue.
