It does work somehow, but very slow and jerky as long as DRI is
enabled in the kernel.
It´s not a a problem related to KMS. Allocation of tiled buffers fails with
that old X, although it worked with 2.6.22.6, that results in a massive
performance drop (more than 70 percent).
Jerky drawing can only be avoided if DRI is disabled in the kernel.
