And, Stretch is also using FBDEV, like OP here, and stuck in
1280x1024 on a
1680x1050 display, with libdrm-radeon1, xserver-xorg-video-ati and
xserver-xorg-video-radeon installed. ???
Sid and/or stretch, I don't recall exactly when the split was made.
The clue is in the name, nonfree ;)
The correct package in Jessie is firmware-linux-nonfree. It apparently
no longer pulls in anything else and has all the drivers, itself. There
is no firmware-amd-graphics in Jessie. Yes. Having nonfree in your
sources list does help, but I do keep it there. Installing
firmware-linux-nonfree and rebooting was the answer.
Thank you to everybody that helped on this. Since this is solved and
the answer wasn't found in the logs, I will pass on sending a really
long post by including the logs.
