Depend on how "new" your card is. :)
HD 4800 series, RV770
More details are in this ELRepo bug report: http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=355
So I guess I should try enabling the testing repository. Thanks.

Unfortunately older Radeon HD 4000, HD 3000, HD 2000 Series are NOT currently supported as the current AMD driver does NOT support the new version of Xorg in 6.4.
So your HD 4800 series is NOT supported.
Radeon HD 7000, HD 6000, HD 5000 Series ARE supported by the version 13.1 driver currently in the testing repo. I've had a couple of reports that this driver works so I'll move it to the main repo shortly. If you have supporting hardware I would recommend updating to this driver before performing the 6.4 update.
I've read the Known Issues in the C64 Release Notes.
Any thoughts on whether it's sufficient to 'exclude=xorg*' prior to updating from 6.3 to 6.4 to keep the X server compatible with AMD 4xxx series card/driver? Will I be the first to try this?
Yes that works fine, but you also need to exclude mesa* too for the upgrade. You're not the first to try this, at least one user I know has downgraded xorg*, mesa* after a failed update to get things working again so it's a confirmed option.
