Not sure what settings to look for, but this looks like you are 
completely correct:

tobias@...x:~$ cat /boot/config-2.6.31-020631rc6-generic | grep KMS
# CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS is not set
tobias@...x:~$ cat /boot/config-2.6.31-020631rc7-generic | grep KMS
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y

I thought that they would not change the configs where not necessary and 
was obviously wrong. Attaching both configs for completeness.

Sorry for the false alarm and thanks for taking the time to look at this.
