Not at all, radeonhd has no kernel modesetting support and does a lot of stuff in its own unique way. Please test an F12 LiveCD or something as soon as you can and we'll figure this out. Anyone using radeonhd is only causing themselves long term problems and I encourage them to switch to radeon if they want any support going forward.
