Assuming all your packages are from testing, you've apparently
discovered two bugs.

This is a bug in either libxft-dev or x11-common. You should file a bug
report to both. In the mean-time you can force one to overwrite the
other's /usr/include/X11 using 'dpkg --force-overwrite'. It is probably
safer to have x11-common overwrite libxft-dev.

This is *probably* a bug in Xorg's radeon driver, but possibly one in
the kernel. (The fact that a bug in Xorg can do this is itself a major
design flaw in X, but that is another matter). A bug should be filed
against the Xorg package. To fix it, you might want to look into newer
(or older) versions of Xorg. (That is a lot of work, though).
