There is a problem with recent radeonfb's an X + UseFBDev. I think the problem is that XFree is claiming a mode whose virtual resolution is very large. I have to verify that (it works for me here). Radeonfb has limitations on what it allows on the virtual resolution in recent version to limit the ioremap'ing done in the kernel. Unfortunately, there is no simple way to "detach" one from the other at this point.
I should modify radeonfb to crop the virtual resolution instead of failing though...
Can you try hacking in drivers/video/aty/radeon_base.c, function check_mode() and see why it fails ? (I think it's that function that is failing).
Ben.
