Just struck me - of course you have the mesa drivers loaded, according 
to you XFreeconfig, the radeon drivers are commented out, i assume to 
relieve the lockup issue you were having.  Earlier I saw you had tried 
to install the fire gl drivers and got the error about a conflict with 
mesa, try to install the firegl drivers rpm with the --force option, 
then run the fglrxconfig to create a new XFreeconfig file for you (or do 
it manually)...that should help you get some meaningful information in 
your XFree Error log if there is in fact still a problem.  For me with 
the 9700 pro (only 2D support provided by fedora) things didn't really 
start to click until after a kernel recompile with agpart and radeon as 
loadable modules.  Unfortunately I have to work from memory here as the 
box I did this on was for a friend and I don't have ready access to it.
