Sorry, but that's the limit of my experience with this issue :-)  The first 
two patches from that bug manage to get beryl working on my linux box.  I 
haven't tried doing so under FreeBSD since AIGLX is currently broken on 
radeon cards.  It is, in fact, broken on Intel cards as well, iirc.

Have you tried unloading the radeon and drm kernel modules and reloading them 
before restarting X?
