Maybe you had WITHOUT_AIGLX enabled when you built Xorg 7.2, and then
this flag was not set for Xorg 7.3. Your video hardware is identical to
mine, and it is working now after some effort on my part.
Start here: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11870
Apply the patch into /usr/src/sys/dev/drm and then rebuild and reinstall
your drm kernel modules. This should allow Xorg to work with your rv350
and have AIGLX support. You will probably then end up in a situation
where the new radeon_drv.so breaks your GLX support. I downloaded the
latest xf86-video-ati driver from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/ and
built/installed it over the top of the one that is gotten from
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati.
