I am on -STABLE built on Jan. 19. I updated mesa today (to
libdrm-2.4.17), and rebuilt xorg-server and drivers. I have
WITHOUT_NOUVEAU="YES" in /etc/make.conf. pkg_info reports libGL-7.6.1.

I have tried loading radeon.ko manually before startx.

If it will help, I can switch to -CURRENT to see if that changes
anything.

PS. Robert, in researching this I got some idea of the effort you put
into this, thanks!
