1.) I compiled radeonfb statically into my kernel and booted with
video=radeonfb:1280x1024-32@60. This works fine, the framebuffer
console works as expected. But the X server doesn't come up
properly. Xorg.0.log ends like this:

[...]
(**) RADEON(0): RADEONSaveScreen(2)
(**) RADEON(0): FIFO timed out: 2 entries, stat=0x80026102
(EE) RADEON(0): FIFO timed out, resetting engine...

Please file a bug for this at http://bugs.freedesktop.org if it hasn't
been reported yet. 

I'll do that, but want to experiment a little bit more first.

I found that compiling radeonfb into the kernel never works. X server
is hanging at 100% CPU, almost completely blocking the system. Even
a ssh login becomes so slow (about 30 seconds to respond to a key press)
that it is practically useless.

Should I also report this as a bug against radeonfb ?

We should rule out an X driver or DRM bug first, so we need to see the
full X log file for this case.
