I am now an owner of a Radeon HD 5870. I am running testing.
The problem I'm having is something crashes after executing startx, crashing the system as well. To get back up and running I have to hard reboot. Xorg.0.log is empty.
Support for ATI Evergreen gpus is coming along well now, you should be able to use it just fine. Do you have an xorg.conf set up? Try running X manually: Xorg :0 -br -nolisten tcp vt7 -logfile $HOME/Xorg.log -logverbose 99 I'm not sure what the firmware situation is for that gpu, but do you have linux-firmware installed?
