I have a 8500 with xorg.  I can't use drm, also called dri, right now.
If you can use it make sure you have this turned on.

Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection

This is what he meant by drm:

# This loads the GLX module
    Load       "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
#    Load       "dri"

This is how I am running now.  DRI carshes my system.  Hopefully its not
in the drivers, am am troubleshooting it now.  DRI if off in the default
conf, I think?

Also try some of this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "8500LE"
    Driver      "radeon"
    #VideoRam    65536
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate


    BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
    Option "BusType" "AGP"
    Option "AGPMode" "4"
    Option "AGPFastWrite" "True"
    Option "AGPSize" "128"
    Option "EnableDepthMoves" "True"
    Option "EnablePageFlip" "On"
    Option "backingstore" "On"
    Option "dpms"
    Screen 0

You should post you Xorg.conf on a web site for us to check if you can't
get it working, or email it to us.  I would say not to freebsd because
it makes some people annoyed whole are subscribed and I guese on dailup.
