When the X server is running it is all in memory. when you copy a never version over the existing install, it just copies over the files. The new files aren't used until you restart the X server. upon restarting you are then loading the new X server (XFree86) which then loads the radeon_drv.o driver to drive your hardware.
somehow validating the mode for crtc2 must be messing up the mode for crtc1. I rewrote some of that code, so it's possible I messed something up.
