Quick guess you are missing DRI2 bits, either too old xserver (need 1.6
at least) or no dri2 proto installed. Still i don't understand what
you mean by radeon.modeset=0, with radeon.modeset=0 everythings should
work as with no kms (ie it use old code path which should be more or
less what you already have).
