A guy who wrote to my (also using the same hardware only using a RHD3450 had the same Problem but his system runs fine when he selects the ati-driver so maybe it's really a problem with the graphics adapter/drivers. I'm only wondering why 7-RELEASE runs fine.

The ACPI error I've seen -- AFAIK -- is benign on my ASUS boards
even though it occurs.
The behavior that you're seeing is odd though -_-... let's keep
the bug list in the loop though so someone knows that there's
definitely an issue with certain ATI cards on CURRENT that needs to be
worked out.
Two other things we should try:
1. Use another video driver (vesa for instance) in X.org and see
if it still occurs.
2. Compile DDB and WITNESS support into your kernel and attach DDB
prior to starting X11, then start X11 and see if you can break the
kernel prior to the reboot (most likely the reboot is a panic and a
kernel coredump attempt that fails). How large is your swap partition?
3. Try out PCBSD (fibonacci version -- based off of FreeBSD 7.1
RC1 I believe) and see if it occurs there.
Oh and by the way the CURRENT dmesg you sent me before was empty :).
Thanks,
