Works partially for me. After adding a GIT-enabled overlay (primozic's) and recompiling libdrm and xf86-video-ati the xserver starts, seems like with the dpi changed and only at 75Hz -but that's a whole different can of worms, same as trying EXA ;), and my xorg.conf is mostly automatic detection as I reported on the duplicate https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12296 .

However: if after starting X I change to a VT the server hangs and leaves the screen in standby mode. That didn't happen before with 6.6.3. It doesn't hang my system fully though: when I xstart-ed I couldn't do anything but rebooting by ctrl-alt-sys-b as my screen was in standby and changing the VT didn't work. However if started by gdm it rebooted itself perfectly after a while (still in standby until the server started).

As said in #12296, I'm using 2.6.22-kamikaze9 with radeonfb and xserver 1.4-r2 from portage; just libdrm and xf86-video-ati are from git (as specified in the dependencies of the ebuild; if that could be a source of problem I can pull everything from git instead with the 9999 ebuilds). I didn't rebuild nothing but the ati driver after emerging git's libdrm and I have debug desactivated, so this should still not be a confirmed problem - so I will recompile everything ASAP with it and without fomit-frame-pointer (mesa, mesa-progs, x11-drm, xorg-server, libdrm). By now the backtrace is meaningless:

This can be just a matter of rebuilding so I won't panic yet :D, or perhaps another tiny change somewhere else as said.
