Disabling KMS disables 3d support altogether. It's not a workaround in the sense of "This provides equivalent functionality", it's a workaround in the sense of "this provides a functional system." Disabling KMS actually ends up disabling the gallium driver altogether, and allows software rendering to take over. This could also be done with whatever option there is to disable the gallium driver, but I don't know that option, and can't find it right now, and don't have the time to search it out.
