AMD Radeon 6490M

Hi everyone, I just installed Debian Buster with KDE Plasma on a notebook that has an AMD Radeon 6490M and an Intel HD Graphics 3000 installed. The installation (text-based) worked fine, however, after rebooting, I just get a tty, X won't start. When checking dmesg for any errors, I found: [drm:r
