Everything except for a kernel with KMS Radeon enabled is indeed available, after compiling that feature into the kernel it indeed works very fine. The DRM1 version that gets used when KMS is not available was pretty problematic on further tries, but with KMS and DRM2 it's fast and so far stable. Another vote against radeonhd then, I guess, at least for the HD4850 I am using.
