I agree that xterm gives the impression that it redraws the window
slowly compared to the UMS driver. For instance, when the program inside
xterm outputs a lot of data, xterm often slowly clears the whole window
(I can see the text dispappearing, starting from the bottom going to the
top), then it displays the content again (this is fast). The same
behavior occurs on Linux. I have not verified if it's effectively slower
with KMS or just an impression.

This is ok: the first time it tries, /dev/dri/card0 doesn't exist.
Therefore, it calls kldload to load radeonkms.ko (which creates
/dev/dri/card0) and then retries to open it.
