Using the drm-radeon-testing branch on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git 
38f1cff0863809587b5fd10ecd0c24c8b543a48c

I can boot to the console, "modprobe drm" and "modprobe radeon modeset=1" and
then start Xorg and it works perfectly. Suspend-to-disk also works (Woohoo! ..
and much better than with fglrx by the looks of things!).

This has resolved the issue for me personally, but I have noticed that if I
start Xorg automatically (via upstart) I get a similar problem, I have also
tried booting with "radeon.modeset=1" on the kernel command line and in a
separate attempt with "options radeon modeset=1" in the module options. The
screen no longer fades as it did before, it is either black or white, with some
regular dotted vertical lines in green or pink.

I guess an old Xorg.0.log is no longer of interest. I'm happy to try other
options and will probably track the drm-radeon-testing branch and report any
improvements or regressions as I come across them, but I'm happy to close this
ticket as resolved.
