I'm using R9550 here, so same generation. I'm also running the same software stack, except for xserver-xorg-video-radeon, which is from experimental on my machine.

In that case, I think the problem is not with kernel modesetting itself, but X somehow misbehaves when shutting down. Should you be able to pin it down, you could file a bug against xserver-xorg-video-radeon. [..] > Could you give the kernel command line options you have for your R300 > driver? I'm not using any mode options myself, it's about a year ago that I had such issues. You could try disabling modesetting completely, but that's only a temporary solution: radeon.modeset=0 -- or edit /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf It appears I was wrong about the "vary per driver" part (that's only true for modesetting itself). video=DVI-I:1024x768@75 see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting for more info. Yes, it's for nouveau but they are the only ones that offer documentation about modesetting for the KMS case. You can get your connector names from dmesg (in my case, VGA and DVI-I): $ dmesg | grep -A1 Connector > > > Since mouse + keyboard did not work in X, I deleted /run, which > > > fixed that.

I'm running Wheezy as well (though not a new install), and the /run directory hasn't appeared for me yet. > Section "ServerFlags" > Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" > Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False" > EndSection > > But alas, still no working keyboard & mouse. > They _did_ work after deleting /run. Please try with AutoAddDevices set to true, since udev does correctly recognize the devices. Assuming your mouse+keyboard are usb devices, package to file a bug against is xserver-xorg-input-evdev. The problem might be in udev or even initscripts, but it's safer to let the maintainers figure out which package than guessing yourself.
