Xserver log file with backtrace

xorg-server 1.6.4 crashes at launch.
Video driver is xf86-video-ati-6.12.4, with a radeon RV620 hardware.

The same configuration worked perfectly with xorg-server 1.6.3 just before upgrading.

Xorg.0.log of the failed startx

Same here, Screen stays black after startxfce4. 1.6.3.901 and current git both work.
Maybe I should mention that there are two Radeon RV770 in my box.

This is Xorg.0.log

Should be fixed with:

    Re-fix DGA removal.
    
    Removing DGA ended up breaking any drivers calling into the old
    xf86DiDGAInit function as it tried to see if DGA was already enabled
    and ended up crashing if the VT wasn't completely initialized. Oops.
    
    Also, if the driver initializes DGA itself, have the DiDGA
    initialization overwrite that information as the DiDGA code will call
    ReInit on mode detect.
