Tried on my own as well, alternative Mesa & Xorg stack booted okay with provided 3.5 kernel or Jason's current 3.9.2 if you want. The problem was elsewhere, first I thought it made use of LLVM-pipe CPU rendering back-end or so, but then I realized that incorrect resolution [only up to 1280x1024 (5:4)] appeared there in options because of VESA driver used as opposed to Radeon KMS-one.

Still I am aware of the mess with tainted firmware in case of any decent AMD/ATi chip.. RS880's onboard HD4250 in this specific HW build.

Just did rollback any changes with ease.
