Hi, you can either try to use the free driver for a while, AMD will
eventually deliver a compatible fglrx driver at some point ; or you can
go back in time and grab older packages on http://snapshot.debian.org/ .
Look at you apt[itude] logs to see exactly what has been upgraded,
download those packages from snapshot.debian.org, and install them with
"dpkg -i".
You must downgrade ALL xserver-xorg related packages which have been
upgraded, not just the core ones, the ABI change will make your mouse
and keyboard fail if you don't downgrade input packages for instance.
Hope it helps.
