For me radeonfb + radeon xorg works nicely.  I used to have
hard lockups when using 'xvinfo' and at random times.  Current
cvs fixes all my problems except EXA _always_ lead to hard
lockups (which I tried from time to time) and when attaching a
seconday monitor the xorg driver thinks the Max Res. is 640x480
(which is workarounded using 'Option "UseFBDev" "True"').
