Userspace is not a problem here, many distributions have GL
implementation switch tools already.
I have users reporting that 6.14.4 suffers from the problem reported here.
Basically, radeon.ko is loaded by X with KMS enabled, (CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=n
but modprobe.d/ contains "options radeon modeset=1") but X fails to start with:
(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version mismatch.
[dri] This chipset requires a kernel module version of 1.17.0,
[dri] but the kernel reports a version of 2.16.0.[dri] Make sure your module is
loaded prior to starting X, and
[dri] that this driver was built with support for KMS.
[dri] Aborting.
The problem is that xf86-video-ati is built with KMS and radeon.ko loads
with modeset=1 but still, X fails to load due to the initialization
(bug?) issue reported by the OP. Restarting X fixes the problem. I do
think there is something to fix here and it would be nice to at least
fix this chicken/egg issue.

Title:
[RV635] No hardware acceleration on ATI Radeon 3650 HD using 'radeon'
driver
Status in xserver-xorg-driver-ati:
Unknown
Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
On Lucid Lynx, after few updates I completely lost graphics hardware
acceleration. As fglrx won't work with new xorg, I use radeon driver
(my card is ATI Radeon 3650 HD). I used to have perfect 3d graphic,
compiz and games used to work smoothly, but from some time I can't use
any of them, when I lunch a game it consumes 100% cpu and lags a lot,
and when I start compiz, it says
compiz (core) - Fatal: Software rendering detected.
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0
so my guess is that the radeon driver is not providing me with 3d hardware
acceleration.
=
I don't know if it is a significant tip, but I found out that use-count of
module 'radeon' is 0, as lsmod shows.
Module Size Used by
radeon738407 0
ttm60847 1 radeon
drm_kms_helper 30742 1 radeon
drm 198930 3 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit6024 1 radeon
...
I have no idea on what can be wrong. Maybe the problem is somewhere in
my configuration (but I doubt it), maybe it's a bug in radeon driver,
or maybe it's a bug somewhere else.
I hope debug info I provide will be useful.
(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version
mismatch.
[dri] This chipset requires a kernel module version of 1.17.0,
[dri] but the kernel reports a version of 2.0.0.[dri] If using legacy
modesetting, upgrade your kernel.
[dri] If using kernel modesetting, make sure your module is
[dri] loaded prior to starting X, and that this driver was built
[dri] with support for KMS.
[dri] Disabling DRI.
