The video card is properly initialized:
    info: [drm] Initialized radeon 2.29.0 20080528
    (in dmesg)

However, Xorg crashes:
    pid 19794 (Xorg), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped)
    (in dmesg)

And because the console doesn't know how to display anything after X.Org
exited, the screens remain blank. However, the computer should be still
responsive, for instance to remote connections.

Signal 6 is SIGABRT, sometimes used when an assertion isn't verified. It
could be interesting to see if Xorg wrote something to its stderr. Can
you connect remotely to your computer and run the following command
after Xorg crashed?
    vidcontrol -PH </dev/ttyv0

It'll dump the content of the console.

I also see that Xorg produced a core dump. Could you get a backtrace
using devel/gdb? You can obtain it by running gdb like that:
    gdb76 /usr/local/bin/Xorg ~/Xorg.core
