It was the future until radeon included its own support for r500+ boards. For some time, both had their advantages and drawbacks. But now KMS/DRI2 (and probably r800 support too) is only in radeon. And radeonhd gets pretty much no development anymore. > I think it should be documented somewhere.

I think radeonhd should work a recent firmware and libdrm if KMS is disabled. So this conflicts would be wrong.
