(modprobe radeon, then after a few minutes, the local system is dead and I need to use SSH to read dmesg. But that doesn't help much because there is no configuration option in the kernel to make the radeon driver output with debug verbosity. But it did help a little: my card is Mobility Radeon X600 (RV480) and the drm driver is using R300 microcode, which means that the driver is very buggy).
