[I answered it on X11 list few days ago but let me repeat here.]

xf86-video-ati-6.13.2 does not support VT switching for your video 
controller.  I believe VT switching for UMS path will be fixed in the 
next release of xf86-video-ati.  Also, it has nothing to do with DRM 
because FreeBSD does not support KMS yet.
