Oh! I'm an idiot. Things have gotten more interesting now... With LVDS
and the old drivers, nothing changes. With the drivers compiled from
GIT... it dies quite badly, requiring kill -9 to get back on track.

The log (attached) ends like this:
(II) RADEON(0): Port1:
 Monitor   -- LVDS
 Connector -- DVI-I
 DAC Type  -- TVDAC/ExtDAC
 TMDS Type -- NONE
 DDC Type  -- MONID
(II) RADEON(0): Port2:
 Monitor   -- TMDS
 Connector -- DVI-I
 DAC Type  -- Primary
 TMDS Type -- Internal
 DDC Type  -- DVI_DDC
(II) RADEON(0): ---- Primary Head:   Port1 ----
(II) RADEON(0): ---- Secondary Head: Port2 ----
(WW) RADEON(0): Video BIOS not detected, using default clock settings!
(II) RADEON(0): Probed PLL values: xtal: 27.000000 Mhz, sclk: 391.500000 Mhz, mc
lk: 202.500000 Mhz
(II) RADEON(0): Existing panel PLL dividers will be used.
(WW) RADEON(0): Panel size 1280x854 is derived, this may not be correct.
If not, use PanelSize option to overwrite this setting
(WW) RADEON(0): No valid timing info from BIOS.

I am now capturing the radeon registers too. Between a normal session
with the old drivers running with VGA, and the broken session (new
drivers, attempt to use DVI), the diff is

And another interesting tidbit. With the _old_ drivers, and the
correct LVDS, TMDS setting, there is a small difference in the log if
I start X with the monitor hooked via DVI or via the DVI-VGA adapter.
