VGA card : ATI (HIGHTECH EXCALIBUR) RADEON 9000 PRO
>Description:
KDE freezes after X server started and before the 'KDE init logo'
displayed. In this state the keyboard become useless (mouse cursor can
be moved roughly) and the screen also freezes (it does not refresh).
The system can be rebooted through ACPI power button but it behaves
interesting: this process is much slower than in normal case and it once
control the monitor 'out of frequency' range then reboots (during this
shutdown process the screen remains frozen). Using a trick, switching
back to console immediately after issuing the 'startx' command, the
system does not hang until switching back to X again. Then KDE seems to
be started properly but some seconds later the same freezing takes
place. (Testing X server with 'XFree86 -xf86config ...' itself works
good and it does not cause any freezing.)
Lastest kernel, which work good was cvsup-ed and compiled on 25th of
September. I used another vga card for temporary some days ago and I
compiled a new base system/kernel, which had no such problems until I
put back the ATI to the AGP slot.
I guess it may be a bug around radeondrm kernel driver. In the last days
I cvsup-ed my source tree and I compiled the base system/kernel more
times but it did not help.
My kernel config based on the lastest GENERIC config shipped with the
source. I noticed (about one or two months ago but I think this problem
did not solved since then) if I comment out hardwares (like SCSI, RAID),
which I does not have, although the kernel boots properly but exactly
the same freezing takes place with KDE as described above. So I have to
compile in really everything into my custom kernel to avoid KDE crash.
Log file comparision (diff's output) between a 'normal' (>) and a
'frozen' (<) startup:

NOTE: XFree86 and KDE were compiled from ports and these are up-to-date.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile a recent FreeBSD-CURRENT i386 kernel and try to start KDE with
ATI RADEON 9000 (PRO).
>Fix:
Sorry, but I have no idea how to fix it.
