"Bridgman, John"
If you look further down the log there are error messages when the drm interface is being set up, resulting in "DRI initialization failed" and "acceleration disabled".
Looks like the system fails to allocate a 10MB depth buffer, which I don't remember seeing before.
Oops. I seem to have missed those error messages. Thanks for opening my eyes :-)
Can you pastebin your dmesg output ? There might be clues there.

According to /sys/class/drm/card0/device, the correct dri device has been opened. Unless i'm deceived somehow. If it would be the wrong dri device, it would explain why that allocation fails, as the G200 have only 8MB of RAM installed. After i wrote the mail yesterday, i also tried radeonhd from git, with exactly the same effect.
