I have a same issue on two different boxes with three different AMD 
HD4XXX graphics boards and radeon/radeonhd driver (running FBSD 9.0-CUR, 
8.1 and 8.2-STABLE, all mad64). I reported this phenomenon here, it is 
still present. With HALD and DBUS enabled and an automatic generated 
xorg.conf file only HD4830 works, but it locks up/freezes the box when 
exiting Xorg/xdm.
With HD4770 and HD4670, only hardwiring keyboard and mouse, disabling 
HALD and DBUS works, otherwise the Xorg server freezes the box 
immediately after starting. Also, with the hardwireddown xorg.conf file, 
exiting a session/resetting Xorg renders the box frozen.
