@Ron thanks that confirms my problem in that the radeon card is not detected and the Xorg server is not starting. It seems for you, additionally, the radeondrmfb is not working correctly (hence the blank screen).
@2blue thanks for trying to help out, but those logs have nothing to do with this bug because you haven't disabled the radeonfb framebuffer in them. When you do use 'video=ofonly' and it appears to be hanging, do you get a black screen or does the text stay on the screen? Can you try 'live video=ofonly radeon.agpmode=-1' to see if that stops the freezing? For me the regression is definitely in the latest xorg radeon driver, but I note wxl is having similar symptoms with nouveau (KMS)on PowerPC.

The last ISO I tested was from the 19th of Sept and that was fine. Yesterdays live/desktop ISO (28/9/2012) fails to start the Xorg server. It reports that no devices are detected. Creating a very simple xorg.conf overcomes the problem: Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:0:16:0" EndSection I'll attach the Xorg.0.log from running with and without the above xorg.conf.
