Now that you have a GPU with outputs other than VGA, find a DVI-to-HDMI or
HDMI-to-HDMI cable and connect that HD5450 to your LG instead of the VGA
cable. If that isn't any better, connect it to a TV's HDMI input to see what
results. I suspect your VGA connection is the root problem, either the cable,
or the VGA connector on your LG. All is good here with Bullseye and HD5450
using VGA connection, HDMI connection, and/or DVI connection:

You might notice that my HD5450 has loaded the modesetting Xorg display driver,
while yours has loaded ati,radeon. You may uninstall xserver-xorg-video-radeon
to allow yours to do the same.
