Adding Option "Log" "sync" to ServerLayout might help to get the xorg

That also fixes the issue on my RV370 (X600).  I have several other
systems with newer Radeon cards but haven't had the opportunity to
try the new X.org on them.  Unfortunately, there's no reason given
for this patch so it's not clear whether it _is_ required for some
cards.  In any event, the problem it causes with at least older
cards suggests that the patch is not complete.

Yup.

As a workaround, install the version 6.13 driver.  A separate port
has been created for it.

# portupgrade -o x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati613 xf86-video-ati



That's sad, yet another panic :(. This time that's me who is lucky. I've
got a radeon 4330 and it's working absolutely fine.



Just to put this thread into context, the new driver improves the
situation for some people, of course you don't see them complaining
here.


In light of this just for testament, it has improved the performance of my 
Radeon 9700 Pro (R300).




My machine has 2 ATI cards, one onboard (HD4200) and one in the PCIE
slot (HD5770). The new driver allows me to switch back to the console
when using the HD5770.



Just one card here in the AGP slot of this old mother board. Some tweaking 
that I had to do in order to get it to behave was switch it to PCI mode, 
and a few other things listed here:


Option  "DMAForXv""off"
Option  "BusType" "PCI"
Option  "AccelMethod" "XAA"
Option  "DynamicPM"   "on"
Option  "Int10"   "on"
Option  "DRI" "off"
Option  "RenderAccel" "on"

Keep in mind though that this is a hacked up machine with a new video card 
in even older hardware so settings mentioned here will rarely match new 
machines with equally new hardware.



In conjunction with the Xorg upgrade a reproducible panic with certain
combinations of BIOS and xorg.conf configurations disappeared.
These combinations still don't work, but instead of panicking the
system, the Xorg process can be killed and the xorg.conf can be
changed to a working configuration without a reboot or risk of
data loss.



No panics here because of the driver or new X.org but until the settings 
above were put into place and after a few thousand redraws of a browser on 
this system I was left to hit the power button and wait for watchdog to 
kick in and shut the system down because a frozen non responsive screen.



All is well now. Thanks for the upgrades! nice job to all!

Breaks my ATI Technologies Inc RV380 [Radeon X600 (PCIE)] as well.

I have discovered that disabling DRI or acceleration makes it work
(though that's not really a solution).  But I guess it wouldn't be
an "upgrade" from the X.org Consortium without some arbitrary and
unnecessary regression. 

With Option "Log" "sync", the tail end of the X.org log looks like:
(II) RADEON(0): [dri] Visual configs initialized
(II) RADEON(0): RADEONRestoreMemMapRegisters() : 
(II) RADEON(0):   MC_FB_LOCATION   : 0xe7ffe000 0x1fff
(II) RADEON(0):   MC_AGP_LOCATION  : 0xffc0
(==) RADEON(0): Backing store disabled
(II) RADEON(0): [DRI] installation complete

This works for me as long as DynamicPM is left disabled.  Enabling
it also causes a hard lockup.

As already mentioned, the current radeonhd driver works (for me), too.
Of course, YMMV.
