For some reason, your X server doesn't seem to be loading the usual support modules before calling the driver probe hooks, which prevents the radeon driver from using KMS.

Is /root/xorg.conf.new the configuration file you want to use? If not, does moving it away help?

I got it working with a new kernel (3.4.9) and my own xorg.conf.  X -configure is still failing, but I am up and running now.
