Dave can you make the radeon driver fall back to vesa in case of a
problem? my display disappears after modprobe radeon modeset=1 and if
the driver unloads itself, then maybe i can see any error messages on
the display.
   

Not really.  There's no way to ask the display "hey, that mode I'm
sending you, does it work?" so it's sort of hard to programmatically
know when it doesn't work.

- ajax
 
But a keyboard shortcut that forces a change to the vesa driver would be very useful.
