I went ahead and merged the Radeon R6/7xx code to -STABLE a while ago. The current xorg drivers will not enable it by default on R600+ chips. You will need to be using xf86-video-ati-6.12.0, xf86-video-radeonhd-devel or possibly even better git master of either. You will need to add the following to the Device section of your xorg.conf to enable it. If you are experiencing issues, commenting these two options out, will prevent Xorg from auto-loading the kernel module. Options "DRI" Options "AccelMethod" "EXA" robert.
I know it's been a few weeks, but thanks for this work! I'm using a Radeon HD 4350 and tracking -STABLE. Ever since the big xorg update, my system has been crippled. I like to use startx, restart X, and switch consoles with the function keys. The only driver I could find that didn't completely lock up the system when I did these things was the vesa driver, so I've been using it. Even now vesa throws "failed to set mtrr: Invalid argument" on startup and the screen gets corrupted when I change consoles with the function keys, but it doesn't freeze my system, so I've been using it. Today I finally got around to trying out the radeon changes listed above, and now my system is crippled no more! Plus I have graphics acceleration!
