maybe you missed this? http://www.archlinux.org/news/477/

"- radeon kms is now disabled by default"

you have to add radeon.modeset=1 or something like that to grub

KMS for ATI is still in development. If it was production-ready, we would have enabled it by default. Upstream doesn't recommend using it in released kernels yet.
