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.
