Here I'm clueless :-(
The log shows that the radeon driver is used, although also drivers are accessed
but unloaded later.
The radeon driver seems to work, even direct rendering.
There are no further warnings (WW) or errors (EE) in the log.
Do you see the mousepointer on the black screen? Maybe it's a problem with the
backlight? (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/backlight)
Did your setup work before?
Maybe, to test your setup you could use a Linux live CD.
