It's not going to be a KMS issue.  Unless things have changed in the
last couple of weeks, KMS is currently only available for nv5x/nv6x, and
only if you deliberately build from the modesetting-gem branch of drm.

I'd suggest filing a bug, attaching Xorg.0.log & dmesg with drm loaded
with the 'debug=1' parameter as usual.  If you've got the facilities,
attaching gdb and a getting a backtrace would probably be welcome, too!
