fair enough. How's this for a simpler script?

#!/bin/sh

RTOOL=/usr/local/bin/radeontool
case "$1" in
start)
        if [ -x $RTOOL ]; then
            echo -n ' Radeon'
        $RTOOL light
            $RTOOL light on
        $RTOOL light
        $RTOOL dac 
            $RTOOL dac off
        $RTOOL dac
        fi
        ;;
stop)
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
        exit 64
        ;;
esac

it doesnt read anything from rc.conf at all (which is where some of the extra stuff is)
