You're comparing "radeon driver + Kernel mode setting" (Ubuntu 9.10) with
radeonhd (openSUSE 11.2).
BTW, we had KMS enabled (unintentionally; it's enabled by default in upstream
kernel although considered experimental!) for radeon kernel module for one
Milestone. We received a lot of feedback during this time. A bunch of radeon
card users were complaining about black screens. We decided to disable it.
Also having it enabled would have required a complete new user stack, i.e.
libdrm, Mesa and xf86-video-radeon from some special git branch, also
considered experimental. I bet this new user stack wouldn't have worked at all
without KMS.
I believe we should concentrate on figuring out why no output is detected with
your graphics card when using radeonhd. Thanks.
