unmerge 925891
retitle 925891 AMD/ATI Carrizo driver incorrectly detected?
thanks

Now making the incorrect driver detection a separate issue.

All I know is with that minimal install, it somehow assumes the correct
driver is present, or it is, but it uses it wrong. See also
https://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo . Anyway the result is a successful
install, but a black screen upon boot.

I'm delaying completing my installation so I can help somebody fix this.
I can work around it myself.
Just tell me when you don't need my help anymore for testing the
installer on this, so I can proceed with my installation. Thanks.
