Hello, list!

After ten month of awaiting, recently have tried to install Wheezy again at Acer Aspire One 522 netbook. This time, lspci output is here, took from LiveCD Kubuntu 12.10.

Wheezy have performed a good install without problems (kde4 flavor, graphic expert mode, network installation through wpa2 wifi) but after restart there is the same picture as a ten months earlier. You may see two attached shots of a netbook screen.
Probably, the failure may be fixed by a conf file editing, or something, but the “recovery mode” is demonstrating almost the same picture as a “normal” mode. And at the same time, as mentioned above, the install itself was made through a “graphic install”. lspci from running Kubuntu 12.10 fairly demonstrate 'radeon' driver, which is working with APU C-60 AMD ATI 6590 well, both in “live” and “permanent install” modes.
Rusty English is a bad of mine, so I consider my misunderstanding of the words “recovery mode” in Wheezy boot menu as a lost in translation.

Also, have tried Wheezy livecd (from here: http://live.debian.net/cdimage/release/current-next/amd64/iso-hybrid/) with the same “noisy screen effect” after boot.
At the same time, CrunchBang Waldorf is running fine in the live mode. It is Wheezy-based, right?

If somebody may give an advice, how to fix my AMD ATI APU problem, please? I have tried to use Debian bug tracking system to report a bug but have not succeeded yet in ecosystem understanding.

Thanks in advance!
