** Description changed: After the upgrade, the computer crashed at the login screen where it froze. I could not switch to a VT, login via SSH, or safer reboot via the magic keys: RESIUB. Anyway - after a hard reboot, I noticed the graphics setup had changed. I have a dual monitor setup that with a 22 1920x1080 TV and 17 1280x1024 monitor. For some reason the 1920x1080 display likes to use an odd resolution (1776x1000) for some signals like the one the RV770 was pumping out cloned for both monitors of 1280x1024. That's even though the xorg.conf explicitly stated dual monitor setup. At some point after upgrade to 14.04 and before my second attempt to run Xorg, the original xorg.conf file was renamed (and not replaced) with the date added on the end.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1310064] Re: radeon driver no longer detects video card (RV770) w/ ubuntu 14.04
Update: I disconnected one of the monitors (the 17 1280x1024) and now the radeon driver is driving the display.
