Package: libgl1-mesa-glx Version: 7.6.1-1 Severity: wishlist
This may be "jumping the gun" but after libdrm-radeon1 became availabe I attempted to get kernel mode setting working with a radeon 9200se card. I had to compile xf86-ati-radeon from git (version 6.12.99), and then ran into software rendering being used. I recompiled the mesa in Debian (7.6.1) against the libdrm 2.4.17 and now have hardware rendering working again. There may be very good reasons for having mesa in Debian unstable still compiled against earlier libdrm, but to make use of kernel mode setting with acceleration I had a long recompile of mesa (nearly 13 hours on this machine), and mesa compiled against current libdrm would have avoided this problem.
