Re: Radeon HD 5770
Puh, I’m out of the game, but maybe Adrian or someone else has a hint?
Could you post your xorg.log file? Normally xorg detects the card by itself.
Is the Nvidia card working? I guess no, because Debian uses a Kernel pagesize of 64KiB, IIRC? Nouveau needs a pagesize of 4KiB.

With „nomodeset“ and having the NVidia card connected it gives the error message about missing UMS/KMS at the point (and boots). So I’d expect driver loading/mode setting to happen there, but it does not.
