Bug#616511: xserver-xorg-video-vesa: Blank screen on ATI R580

as in “X :0”? That's normal, you get a black background and no X
client by default. You could try:
  X :0 & sleep 5; DISPLAY=:0 xterm

Your log indeed looks fine. There's the fbdev driver you could try by
the way. Or disabling KMS to see if that helps with your radeon
issue. Is the bug you're having with radeon reported in the BTS?
