For the record: I've also tried the radeonhd driver instead of radeon.
'glxinfo' reports a lot more GLX Visuals and GLXFBConfigs, OpenGL
version 2.1 instead of 1.5, but glxgears does not seem any faster
(around 290 FPS). Other applications using GL (supertuxkart ...) still
crash when trying to use hardware acceleration.

For my part, I'd greatly appreciate *any* feedback from graphics people
on this. Is it being worked on? Which component is the culprit (kernel,
xorg driver, Mesa)?

There is no DRM support for r600 and up in the kernel. Someone first has
to finish his PhD first I believe...
With the current kernel support you get _some_ benefits like xvideo, but
that's about it for the moment.

My 3850 (r600) has DRM support on Current:

vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "ATI Radeon HD 3850" rev 0x00
wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation)
wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)
radeondrm0 at vga1: apic 2 int 16 (irq 10)
drm0 at radeondrm0
