What version of X and what version of FreeBSD are you running? Which
Radeon are you using? Are you running DRI?

If you are running DRI, I have no suggestions. I have seen one report
claiming to have DRI and S3 working, but I have never had any luck. I am
running current and X.org 6.8.1. on yesterday's current with a Radeon M7.

I need to put both:
hw.acpi.reset_video=0
hw.syscons.sc_no_suspend_vtswitch=1
into /etc/sysctl.conf to make this work.
