I just tried this again, last time running glxgears locked my machine up, and my clumsy attempts to add the relevant work from the drm-rawhide kernel tree into a 2.6.28 went nowhere (unsurprisingly), but everything (well, almost) is working very well now.
KMS works perfectly, the only hangup is xv video, it's like watching something in stop-motion, and lags the entire desktop, is this a known issue?
Anyways, -vo gl in mplayer works fine, at least 'till this issue is resolved, and apart from that everything works beautifully, so I'm going to stick with it unless something goes wrong.
I've made a diff of the drm-rawhide kernel branch and the 2.6.29-rc8 kernel, and the resulting patch applies cleanly to 2.6.29.1, anyone interested can get the patch here (the earlier one is the one I'm currently using, the later one includes three commits from the last 24 hours which I haven't booted yet, but it does apply and build just fine).
Thanks to agd5f for pointing me in the right direction, and all the devs involved for the great work.
