I just sent a "Call for testers" on this same mailing-list, containing a
patch to update xf86-video-ati to 7.5.0. It appears there was a patch in
the official Ports tree which never made it to the xorg-dev Subversion
repository. However, this port update I just posted has it again.

Could you please test this patch and report back?

I suppose your computer doesn't boot after that? Are you sure you
preloaded all the required firmwares?

Another solution is to load radeonkms from /etc/rc.conf; see the
$kld_list variable in the manpage.

Cool! Thank you for the report :-)
