I have applied both kernel patches, recompiled, rebooted, upgraded to 
Xorg 7.4, upgraded to radeonhd-devel from ports.  The kernel is still 
seeing my card:

vgapci0: <VGA-compatible display> port 0x2000-0x20ff mem 
0xd0000000-0xdfffffff,0xe0200000-0xe020ffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1
drm0: <ATI Radeon HD 3450> on vgapci0
vgapci0: child drm0 requested pci_enable_busmaster
info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.29.0 20080528

Enabling DRI and Exa in xorg.conf causes my display to go blank during X 
startup and I'm left with no other way out except hitting my power 
button and shutting down.

Enabling Exa with DRI disabled is wildly slow.

Leaving both disabled works fine, but no Xv. :)

Please let me know if I can provide more info to debug this.


Thanks,
Aragon
