The notebook was missing the firmware-amd-graphics package, but please 
note that /dev/fb0 existed even before installing it.

Now that's installed the situation is probably worse: Xorg manages to 
start, lightdm shows up and then the notebook suddendly reboots, so I 
have a boot loop, because now Xorg and lightdm start automatically.

Actually I know how to boot in single user mode and avoid the boot loop, 
but I'm not sure about what to do next. Maybe I'll try with a less 
recent kernel.
