This guide demonstrates how to enable the open source radeonhd driver.
Warning: In most cases it is not a good idea to follow this guide.
In fact radeonhd driver, thought providing 2D support and (experimental) 3D for some GPU AMD/ATI, are almost abandoned; their functionality are provided (and enlarged) by radeon driver (see http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd%3Afeature vs. http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature).

Enabling Radeonhd
If your device is supposed to be supported, you can follow this procedure to enable the radeonhd driver.
Disable KMS
Add nomodeset to your kernel boot options to disable KMS; radeonhd doesn't support it.
Blacklist radeon
# echo blacklist radeon > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Xorg Configuration
# vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf
(uncomment the driver radeon and tack on "hd")
Note
For my FirePro v8800 I had to manually edit the xorg.conf file and change
BusID "PCI:4:0:0"
to
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
in order for the driver to operate on 11.4. lspci -v shows the bus id you may need if these instructions fail.
Reboot
# shutdown -r now
