Hi,

Some news on this issue.

I am currently testing kernel mode setting on my Radeon HD 3870 using Kubuntu 9.10, Linux 2.6.32-rc7 from Ubuntu kernel PPA and libdrm/radeon/mesa from Xorg-edgers PPA.

When KMS is disabled, the audio curves are still corrupted in Audacity, but when KMS is enabled, the audio curves are correctly displayed.

It also looks like other minor graphical glitches that I used to have with KDE (mostly in the panel) and in NetBeans 6.7 IDE splash screen completely disappear when KMS is enabled.

I will switch back to UMS for now because of some performance issues (mostly scrolling in Firefox), but KMS really impressed me so far.
