That happens before the driver even loads. What happens if you use a vga console? Boot up to a non-X runlevel and add radeon.modeset=0 to your kernel command line in grub. Is it just new kernels or does the new behavior manifest on older kernels as well? Make sure your GPU fan is functional and clear of dust.
