I'm 100% interested in the output doesn't light up kinda bugs.

If anyone encounters these what would be useful is to over ssh

boot with nomodeset 3 - go to no X runlevel.
rmmod radeon drm
modprobe drm debug=1
modprobe radeon modeset=1

and attach dmesg to a bug, also add an xorg log from a nomodeset boot

Next on the list are oops and crashes.

If I can solve the crashers and modeset not starting I can start on the
artifacts, rendering speed regressions and 3D bits.

but from the beta release I'd feel free to file any bugs against it.

Dave.
