closed source driver from AMD had retired from repositories!!!

open source radeon driver is xserver-xorg-video-radeon and need
firmware-linux-non-free.

the radeon driver uses KMS, notes from driver:

xserver-xorg-video-radeon (1:6.12.192-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Starting with this version, the radeon driver enables kernel mode setting
(KMS) by default.  This comes with a framebuffer driver which enables
native resolution on the console.  KMS also allows faster VT switching
and mode changes.

Enabling KMS may break X.org drivers that are not KMS-ready, for instance
radeonhd or vesa.

In case of trouble KMS can be disabled with the 'nomodeset' kernel
command line parameter, or by editing /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf.
-

install driver and disable KMS.

how many monitors are installed?


does de following commands:

* disable GDM to no start -- update-rc.d -f gdm3 disable
* start a computer and login in console with a normal user
* type 'startx'

CTRL+ALT+F1 works?

The configuration is the same as that used, I only changed a driver on
the other.
