Re: X problems in Stretch with AMD APU?

X problems in Stretch with AMD APU?

I have a home theatre PC with an AMD A6-3500 APU. Bit of an oldie but still plays everything fine. The drivers supplied by the Jessie repositories (including fglrx for hardware acceleration) worked fine. But then I upgraded to Stretch and suddenly started without X. The debian supplied drivers
