The bug has been confirmed by many people here:

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12490

It does not only affect FreeBSD but also Rawhide
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=261021)
and many problems have been reported with single headed radeon
cards. http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12490#c1

But there seems to be some hope as written here: 
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12490#c22

I will try to give a try this weekend and test this. Does someone
has some nice hints to use git and build everything? Where should I
be careful?
