After thinking about your stability problems a bit more, xserver has recently 
received a number of EXA improvements, R500 MESA/DRM support is fairly 
recent, and the drivers are a moving target a well.  Few (none?) of these 
improvements are in the official FreeBSD src/ports trees.

I'll send you a xf86-video-radeonhd tarball that I just created and tested 
with my HD 2660 PRO.  It may help, but I suspect that other parts of the X 
tree will need to be updated as well.
