Thanks! This turned out not to work (I think parts of the radeon driver
that don't depend on firmware may be used somehow?), but it set me down
a path of looking for places to block things. After quite a bit of
experimentation, I arrived at:
(set-xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration
(drivers
'("fbdev" "vesa"))))
I don't know that it's optimal, and it doesn't feel especially elegant,
but it was enough to get X working just now!
