because two different drivers driving the same hardware never mixes.

Is that hard to understand?

radeonfb f*s around with the hardware behind the X drivers back and the X 
driver f*s around behind radeonfb's back. Both don't know what the other one 
does. Result: crash.

That is not a kernel problem. This is a 'two drivers access the same hardware' 
problem.
