X and KDM don't work when drm-radeon-module-git-r6xx-r7xx installed

I'm trying to get EXA and DRI working on my RadeonHD 3650 AGP video card under x86_64 with the new drivers.  I've followed the instructions I've seen here on the forum and installed the drm-radeon-module-git-r6xx-r7xx package from AUR alongside the drivers, but every time I try to start up X with that package on my system I get nothing but a black screen with a cursor.  KDM never starts up, regardless of whether I let Arch boot into it or try using startx from a runlevel 3 session.  This happens with the xf86-video-ati, xf86-video-radeonhd, *and* with the xf86-video-radeonhd-git drivers - doesn't matter if EXA is on or off.  I can only get back into KDE if I uninstall the drm package.

Here's the latest (failed) xorg.conf attempt:
