I had the same problem.  It means acceleration is disabled.

--snip--
(EE) RADEONHD(0): [dri] CP_INIT failed
(EE) RADEONHD(0): RHDDRIFinishScreenInit: RHDDRIKernelInit Failed.
--snip--

the kernel driver needs a firmware blob to run. (basically a video bios update 
that runs on the card)

to fix:
sudo apt-get install firmware-linux

then reboot

xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd suggests firmware-linux, but apt doesn't pull it in 
automatically.  perhaps a recommends would be more appropriate?
