Just bisected the fatal error issue

  "Driver failed PrepareAccess on a pinned pixmap" 

when startig xterm or switching to Linux console (xorg-server 1.6.5 with
xf86-video-ati 6.14.2). The bad commit is

    kms/pre-6xx: fix pageflipping with tiling

    Use UTS/DFS to tile/untile as appropriate for sw access on
    pre-6xx.

Setting 

  Option "ColorTiling" "off"

is usable as workaround, whereas setting

  Option "EnablePageFlip" "off"

does not help. This is with a Radeon XPRESS 200M 5975 aka RS482 (1002:5975),
so I believe still something R3xx based (KMS with kernel 3.0).
