FireGL V7700 and open source Radeon drivers

I have an infuriating problem with a new FireGL V7700 video card (RV670) and the radeon drivers.  Namely: they don't work.  When I boot with KMS on, once the KMS comes on the screen goes black, power saving on the monitor kicks in, and the system halts (doesn't start sshd, or get IP from router).  So I've not no dmesg and no logs.  (ಠ_ಠ)

With KMS off (via nomodeset) it boots, but the drivers don't work because of no UMS support.  (ఠ_ఠ)

I've tried many things (custom kernels, different distros, etc) but it doesn't seem to make a difference.  I'd like to make this card work with the xf86-ati-video drivers.  I bought it because those drivers are supposedly getting pretty good.

The infuriating thing is that the card works great in windows (ಥ_ಥ)

Thanks for any help!
