ATI Radeon HD 3200, Compiz, FreeBSD8.0-RC2, White screen
The issue I'm having (after some effort) is that while compiz starts fine and functions (I can use the cube, expo, key bindings all good) all desktops are white. I can't see any of my windows, backgrounds, or menus. I am using FreeBSD 8 with no custom kernel options or otherwise interesting configuration. I have installed x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd per the handbook. I also tried x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd-devel . I'm aware this issue is all over the internet but none of the solutions I saw worked for me. I have xorg.conf configured for Driver "radeonhd" and it starts up fine. kldstat reports both drm and radeon are running. I tried an option I saw online; Option "AIGLX" "true" but it caused an intermittent hard lock that (maybe?) is related to DRI. I am attaching all relevant files and would appreciate any and all help ! thank you !!!

Code:
$ uname -mrs
FreeBSD 8.0-RC2 

$ dmesg | grep drm
drm0: <ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics> on vgapci0

On an unrelated note I can't seem to upload attachments anywhere from this FreeBSD system (facebook, my e-mail service, this site). The uploads act like they're going but never complete. For that reason here is a link to the screenshots I took:
