Hmm, something I just noticed in your Xorg.log is this:

[  8685.286] (==) Using default built-in configuration (21 lines)
[  8685.286] (==) --- Start of built-in configuration ---
[  8685.286]    Section "Device"
[  8685.286]            Identifier      "Builtin Default vesa Device 0"
[  8685.286]            Driver  "vesa"
[  8685.286]    EndSection

Did you build it or start it with special options/flags?

I think that's why it doesn't event try to use the Radeon driver: the 
configuration forces the VESA driver.

Try to rebuild x11-servers/xorg-server and pay attention to configure 
flags maybe. If you're willing to dig more, look at the server code and 
find when it activates this built-in configuration.
