You need to install the firmware-amd-graphics package.  Without it the
radeon kernel module does not work, which leads tho the following
problem:

> [    38.827] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory

Hence, the modesetting and radeon drivers don't work.

> [    38.829] (EE) VESA(0): Cannot read int vect

And the vesa driver does not work either because it needs root rights
which the X server does no longer have.  See
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-core/NEWS.Debian.gz.
