With the build of the new driver, X tries to start and locks up with a black screen. The Xorg.0.log says: Did you update X recently? The try 'X -retro', X starts with a black screen nowadays.

Matthias,
That's not the problem. Just reinstalling the latest standard radeonhd release, fixes the problem. The issue is the recent changes to the driver in the git repository. For the RS690M card, the recent changes to the driver simply cause X to blackscreen and lock when you attempt to start kdm. This behavior began with the git pull I did on July 25, 2009. Before that, the build of radeonhd worked fine. Right now I'm running on:
[12:14 alchemy:/home/david] # pmq | grep radeonhd xf86-video-radeonhd 1.2.5-1
and everything is working fine.
When I say "blackscreen" I mean the laptop display looks like it is unpowered or unitialized. No slight light-gray backlight you expect from the initial "blank" screen on X start. With the changes to the driver, the screen looks like it is unpowered and off. I'll post my build logs so you can look to see if they hold a clue:
Hmm, David, Could you cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep idle That's what mine used to do. The same kind of behaviour happens when the MC is not idle. If it shows nothing, include your whole Xorg.log.
