Dear Debian Community,
Alex Deucher and Debian community,
Sorry for the delayed response. Installing firmware-linux-nonfree solved the
problem - video on the AMD E-350/Radeon HD6310 works now.
Notwithstanding the conversation I started, I think you can mark this as
'not-a-bug' for the problem I reported. Thanks again for your help and
support. Looking forward to working with this distribution.
Sincerely,
Mike Evans

Alex,
Thanks again. So nothing is solved, only disabled. The output of lsmod was
for grepping the string "radeon".
Do you mean, I have to install the package firmware-linux-nonfree? Because
firmware-linux-free is part of the build.
yes.
Thanks,
Mike

Alex,
Thanks for your reply. When I boot and append
radeon.modeset=0
I can get the display fixed, although Gnome 3 starts in failsafe
(apparently
classic) mode. This I can live with.
$lsmod | grep firmware gives:
radeon 639188 0
ttm 48725 1 radeon
drm_kms_helper 27227 1 radeon
drm 167670 3 drm_kms_helper,ttm,radeon
power_supply 13475 1 radeon
i2c_algo_bit 12841 1 radeon
i2c_core 23876 5
i2c_algo_bit,i2c_piix4,drm,drm_kms_helper,radeon
So I think the drivers were loaded as kernel modules.
Maybe this bug should be marked as 'solved' (if you consider it a bug at
all)?
radeon.modeset=0 disables the driver. If you want to use the driver
and have acceleration, you'll need to install the firmware.
Alex
Thanks,
Mike
