Another data point (sorry for the delay):

Good news:  X starts and stops cleanly and VTY switching works.

Problems:
1) DRI (and apparently EXA) report as disabled:
(EE) RADEON(0): [pci] Out of memory (-12)
(EE) RADEON(0): [pci] PCI failed to initialize. Disabling the DRI.
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
(EE) RADEON(0): Acceleration initialization failed
(II) RADEON(0): Acceleration disabled

There was a thread in mid-February suggesting that this is caused by
a lack of contiguous RAM.  I've tried running a process that just
allocates 1GB RAM and then exits (leaving me with >900MB free space).
Whilst this doesn't guarantee any large contiguous RAM blocks, it
seems odd that there wouldn't be any.

2) mplayer plays video at about 2-3 times the correct rate and firefox-3.5
   also plays HTML5 video excessively fast.

I'm not certain if this is Xorg or something else and will need to
investigate further.

Any suggestions on either of these?
