Hi all,
thanks kudos!

----------------------------------------------------------------
Note: it won't work with i386. Please let me know if it works for you.

1. Update to 7-stable (both kernel and userland)

As drm information for RADEON X1650 (etc) are not updated, in the 7.1-RELEASE, first, update the kernel and userland to later than SVN rev 187021 (2009/1/10) version.

2. load radeon module at the boot time.
add following in /boot/loader.conf
radeon_load="YES"
make sure that radeon drm is activated at the boot time.
$ dmesg | grep radeon
info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.29.0 20080613

3. patch /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Files"
----------------------------------
In my case hald somehow doesn't work well, so I added
> Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
as well.

4. install compiz
portinstall x11-wm/compiz-fusion
portinstall x11-wm/emerald

5. start compiz+emerald by:
$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace ccp &
$ emerald --replace &
