I have csup's my entire source this afternoon and rebuilt world. Funnily
enough, my system now shows as 7.2-PRERELEASE
[alex at desktop /usr/home/alex]$ uname -a
FreeBSD desktop.xor.net 7.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.2-PRERELEASE #6: Fri

I also updated my radeonhd driver from git and recompiled+reinstalled
it. It seems there have been some fixes for this driver over the last week:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/
Much the same issue persists, please see the screenshot:
