My situation exactly, except my CPU is Intel and it's integrated video (Radeon RS300 IGP 9100).  Have tried it with graphics/dri, but not graphics/dri-devel.  I have hope of making DRI work, since I got it working before the mid-december patches (RELENG_6).  Will keep better notes this time.

How is it you see the "unsupported display mode" warning with a black screen?

Thanks,
