Default Xorg hangs on exit

Using OpenBSD 4.6 on a Toshiba satellite L505D-S5983 laptop. At first when I tried to start X it would give me a black screen and the entire machine would freeze. Only a hard reset would work. It uses the radeonhd driver and ATI card.

I tried (using all combinations):
Option "DRI" "True"
Option "UseAtomBIOS" "True"
Option "AtomBIOS" "pll=on"

Found one forum where someone had the exact problem and solved it using the option "UseAtomBIOS" but that doesn't work for me.

Only when I switched the driver to vesa does X start and I have a working display. The only problem is when I try to exit, it closes all apps and then hangs. Nothing in the log file indicating a problem when using the vesa driver at exit. Nothing in the log file at all when using the radeonhd driver.

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
