Starting with FreeBSD 10.0, a new Radeon driver is available in the
kernel. It's mandatory for Radeon HD 5000 and above, but can be used
with older cards too.

Could you please try to:

    1. Define the following variable in your /etc/make.conf:
       WITH_NEW_XORG=3D"YES"

    2. Upgrade your ports (eg. "portmaster -a" if you're using
       portmaster). It should at least upgrade the following ports:
         graphics/libdrm
         graphics/libGL
         graphics/dri
         x11-servers/xorg-server
         x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati

    3. Rebuild xf86-* ports not upgraded by previous step. This could
       include:
         x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
         x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse

And try to start X again. Note that "Xorg -configure" will probably
fail: this is a known issue. Try to start X without a configuration file.=


If this doesn't work, could you please post:
    o  the output of dmesg *after* trying to start X
    o  the output of "pciconf -lv"
    o  your Xorg.log
