Well... I do not feel like upgrading all the time the software. I
prefer to set the system once and do not touch it in ~2 years :) I
used to use unstable, but that was long time ago
.

Well... I tried and it completely messed up my system. I also had to
upgrade the kernel to use the new xserver and it was impossible to run
again the Xserver.
Then I reinstalled from scratch the system and tried the propietary
drivers from the repositories (also the one in backports) and no luck.
At the end I downloaded Catalyst from AMD's webpage and it worked. I
also had to install the linux-firmware-nonfree from the backports to
have support for the HD6500 support in the kernel.
I will install Wheezy with the FOSS drivers when it will be stable ;)
Tanks,
Dan
