troubles after upgrading to xorg-6.8.1

Hello!

Thanks for the well-functioning ports, first of all :-)

I have two troubles, however.

First, something, that was probably discussed on your list already. KDE can 
not come up unless /tmp/.ICE-unix is owned by root. Which, I suppose, is the 
case if one uses xdm/kdm/gdm, but not in the case of `startx'. My workaround 
is to create, chmod, and chown the directory from /etc/rc.local

Second is more complicated. I have two-video cards setup with three monitors.

One is a PCI Radeon:

drm0 at pci0:12:0: class=0x030000 card=0x2049148c chip=0x51591002 rev=0x00 
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'ATI Technologies Inc.'
    device   = 'RV100 Radeon 7000 / Radeon VE'
    class    = display
    subclass = VGA

The other is an AGP Radeon:

none3 at pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x00021002 chip=0x41521002 rev=0x00 
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'ATI Technologies Inc.'
    device   = 'Radeon 9600 XT (V350)'
    class    = display
    subclass = VGA
none4 at pci1:0:1: class=0x038000 card=0x00031002 chip=0x41721002 rev=0x00 
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'ATI Technologies Inc.'
    device   = 'RV360 Radeon 9600 XT - Secondary'
    class    = display

Note, that only the older Radeon-7000 is controlled by radeon.ko (drm0).

The trouble is, glxgears runs fine (albeit slow) on the two monitors attached 
to the AGP Rafeon-9600, but hang the system, when started on the sole monitor 
attached to the PCI Radeon-7000... It used to work (with xorg-6.7.x) and was 
quite fast on this monitor. Now glxinfo outputs are the same for all screens 
(:0, :1, and :2), but, again, glxgears only works on the screens attached to 
the AGP card.

The server's config and log files as well as glxinfo's output can be found at

Any clues? Thanks!
