One of my systems uses a RV370 which along with most of xorg master is pretty stable. Recent input changes seems to broken the xserver mouse driver interface however. I haven't made the DRM patches available, but that's what the commit bit should do. Not sure how to handle the port tree patches and tar-balls from git master. Most of my DRM patches reduce the differences between BSD & linux which I consider a stepping stone to DRI2 and other features. I was hoping that stability would be a fall-out from this work. Haven't tried xf86-video-radeonhd with a RS690 recently, but it's PLL problems several months ago was the reason I bought a HD 2600 PRO (also for it's two DVI ports). Using git master xf86-video-radeonhd with the 2600 seems to be pretty stable.
