I had recently done the same thing, but can't get KMS to work as it
can't load the needed firmware for my card.

My card is a ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3600 Series and the
error I get is:

platform radeon_cp.0: firmware: requesting radeon/RV635_pfp.bin
r600_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon/RV635_pfp.bin"
[drm:r600_init] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!

The firmware is there

Shao ~ # slocate RV635
/usr/src/linux-2.6.32-gentoo/firmware/radeon/RV635_me.bin
/usr/src/linux-2.6.32-gentoo/firmware/radeon/RV635_me.bin.ihex
/usr/src/linux-2.6.32-gentoo/firmware/radeon/RV635_pfp.bin.ihex
/usr/src/linux-2.6.32-gentoo/firmware/radeon/RV635_pfp.bin
/lib64/firmware/radeon/RV635_me.bin
/lib64/firmware/radeon/RV635_pfp.bin

I can't find anything related to my problem reading the kernel
documentation (is there anything about KMS at all?) neither with google.

Greetings

Sebastian
