FWIW, I see this on my T43 (Radeon Mobility X300 M22) as well; I just
installed a snapshot I build 6/23.. machine was running 5.0-branch
kernel and X from April/May before that and X + DRM was working fine.
I'm pretty sure just upgrading the kernel was enough to break this.

I've been pretty busy lately, but looking at this is on my TODO.

PS: This is my first Radeon machine running -current, but the 
external-DRM backport to netbsd-5 is running happily on my amd64 / 
RadeonHD 4650 box with the pkgsrc modular-xorg-server; I'm typing
from an X session there.
