Meantime I continued poking the radeon driver. Since after the startx
the box is totally wasted I decide to ssh from a remote box and run
XFree86 -verbose. This way I at least could capture some output. The whole
thing appeared to hang right after

(--) Depth 24 pixmap format 32 bpp

and just before

(II) do I need RAC? No, I don't.

So I started comparing output from ATI driver to the one from XFree's
radeon. All important things seemed identical (like addresses of MMIO regs,
V_BIOS segment, BIOS, Linear Framebuffer, etc) except the amount of memory
the driver detected. ATI's driver reported 128MB (64bit DDR SDRAM) while
radeon reported 256 (128bit DDR SDRAM). So I added

VideoRam 131072

to the video card section of XF86Config-4. And everything just worked.

Has anybody else experienced anything like this?
