The correct package in Jessie is firmware-linux-nonfree.  It apparently 
no longer pulls in anything else and has all the drivers, itself.  There 
is no firmware-amd-graphics in Jessie.  Yes.  Having nonfree in your 
sources list does help, but I do keep it there. Installing 
firmware-linux-nonfree and rebooting was the answer.

Thank you to everybody that helped on this.  Since this is solved and 
the answer wasn't found in the logs, I will pass on sending a really 
long post by including the logs.
