Okay, I retested with the correct radeon_drv.so. I also copied the theatre*.so files into place just in case, though I don't know what purpose they serve. Unfortunately I get the same snow as before. I'll update the attached Xorg.0.log to the new one.

Regarding RAM allocated to gfx, unfortunately the BIOS doesn't provide any options for changing that. Do you have any suggestions for manipulating that value apart from the supplied BIOS?

Regarding DRI, I'm able to use DRI with the radeonhd driver by setting Virtual 1920 1200. However I've noticed that doesn't work for the radeon driver. I guess the radeon driver needs more memory than radeonhd?
