You'll likely have a lot more luck using the backported Jessie kernel from
debian-backports, and free drivers. I don't think our 3.2 kernel has the
latest kernel-side radeon DRM code that address several issues on these
newer GPUs (and I don't think we can backport all of it to 3.2 either).

Indeed... fglrx is likely to work fine for that card, but only if you're
using a backport *and* the new kernel :( (and I am not sure of that
either).
