Built, test, complain, help the devs troubleshoot, repeat
For radeonhd, if you have a 5xx or earlier card and feel up to running the latest X server please build & run latest X, radeonhd, drm and mesa (say 7.1 RC3 or later). If you have a 6xx or 7xx card you just need to build the latest radeonhd code but hopefully 6xx/7xx accel will start to show up soon so you might as well get used to building everything anyways
re: "when will all this stuff show up in distros ?", I imagine the new radeonhd code will make it into most of the distro releases happening this fall (once the next radeonhd release is generated), and kernel modesetting will probably show up first in Fedora.
