After thinking about your stability problems a bit more, xserver has recently received a number of EXA improvements, R500 MESA/DRM support is fairly recent, and the drivers are a moving target a well. Few (none?) of these improvements are in the official FreeBSD src/ports trees. I'll send you a xf86-video-radeonhd tarball that I just created and tested with my HD 2660 PRO. It may help, but I suspect that other parts of the X tree will need to be updated as well.
