I tried the patch, on 6-RELENG.  It applied cleanly, but I had to edit radeon_drv.h when "make" failed (CHIP_R250 and CHIP_RS250 had been removed from the enum list causing the included drm_pciids.h to trigger "initializer not constant" errors).

I threw over XFree86 again and installed Xorg, with xorg-server-snap.  Didn't make any difference -- leaving "dri" uncommented in xorg.conf still hangs with my hardware (0x1002, 0x5834).  I found no clues in /var/log/messages (last recorded line says "Trying to mount root...)!

$ dmesg | grep drm
drm0: <ATI Radeon RS300 IGP> port 0xc000-0xc0ff mem 0xd0000000-0xdfffffff,0xe4020000-0xe402ffff irq 16 at device 5.0 on pci1
info: [drm] AGP at 0xe0000000 64MB
info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.23.0 20060225

Do you think using the "xorg-server" port instead would help?

Thanks,
