No, the only thing that works with xserver 1.12 while in EFI mode is the scfb driver.

Uname -a:

One thing I didn't include in my previous mail (sent earlier today) is the following information (I'm not sure if it is relevant or not). I decided to do some digging around the problems with the radeon driver, and after issuing the command "sysctl -a | grep radeon", I got the following output which might be of interest:

I'm using a Radeon HD6770M and Intel HD 3000, although in Xorg.conf, I commented out the Intel bit because that driver causes the screen to freeze as I mentioned earlier in this thread.
