Gabriel,

Not sure why the console corrupts with radeon, but here's some things
to try with fglrx:

1) Make sure whenever you change drivers you quit X first.

2) Ensure libgl-dri is removed from your system, then install
ati-fglrx-utils (these two packages conflict - libgl-dri is needed for
xf86-video-ati but screws up fglrx)

3) in your /etc/rc.conf, specify your AGP modules in the MODULES array
in this order: MODULES=( ... agpgart intel_agp fglrx) - where intel_agp
is actually your board's AGP driver ( can be found with lsmod | grep
agp ) - the agp modules must be loaded before fglrx.

4) Disable RENDER and DAMAGE extentions in xorg.conf - fglrx doesn't
play nice with these afaik.

Hope that works for you,
Travis
