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.

You said your card has 1 DVI, one VGA connector and TVout. This doesn't quite match what the BIOS tells us: (II) RADEONHD(0): Connector[0] {RHD_CONNECTOR_DVI, "DVI-I DFP3 CRT1", RHD_DDC_0, RHD_HPD_1, { RHD_OUTPUT_LVTMA, RHD_OUTPUT_DACA } } (II) RADEONHD(0): Connector[1] {RHD_CONNECTOR_TV, "COMPOSITE TV1", RHD_DDC_NONE, RHD_HPD_NONE, { RHD_OUTPUT_DACB, RHD_OUTPUT_NONE } } (II) RADEONHD(0): Connector[2] {RHD_CONNECTOR_DVI, "DVI-I DFP1 CRT2", RHD_DDC_1, RHD_HPD_0, { RHD_OUTPUT_TMDSA, RHD_OUTPUT_DACB } } This suggests that we have two DVI-I outputs. Also please provide what Matthias asked for in comment #16.

I've remove the xorg.conf and play a bit with kde. I've encounter a "big" trouble as it's a crash freeze if you enable desktop effect and chosse the woobly windows. Push a apply, if you move the first windows which is systemsettings you see a woobly effect, but if you click somewhere else you loose X, mouse and keyboard. (I can't even get the machine over ssh) But the power button permit to shutdown it smoothly. Without desktop effect it work quietly well.
