Open-Source(?) driver for Radeon 5770?

I don't know what my Devuan system is using for a driver but it
only gives very low resolution, less than most windows require! The AMD 
proprietary driver install aborts because it no longer supports the 
version of X. According to AMD:

"Your graphics card is considered a legacy product, and as such, it has 
stopped receiving driver support."

B U T   the same card works just fine in my new Debian system so my 
question is "can I and how would I use whatever driver Debian bundles 
with the latest version"? It's probably an open-source one and if it 
works on Debian then it should work on Devuan as well I think.

TIA
