kernel 2.6.32, ati kms, yakuake [SOLVED]

After update from testing I enabled ati kms with the hook radeon described on forum. After reboot everything was ok except that when I tried to roll down yakuake terminal the pc froze and there were strange white horizontal lines on it that were exposing and after 10s all desktop was white. It seems to me something with ati kms is wrong and it happens more than once not only with yakuake. It has something to do with horizontal window scrolling or ... . Any ideas?

ps: there was nothing in logs

What happens if you disable KMS?

After disabling KMS system runs OK, just really slow and direct rendering is not working (not using composite desktop). On kernel ...31 is everything OK, maybe there is a need of development ati/drm/mesa packages. (my GPU is ATI X1100/X200M with OSS drivers)
