Partial Success [was: Re: Problems with upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie]
Hi,
after following the propositions of Brian:
dpkg -l | grep fglrx
Lines with "ii" indicate installed packages. Purge and see what a reboot
does.
and Jörg-Volker Peetz:

I issued:
=======================================================================
root@robbe:/etc/X11# apt-get purge fglrx-atieventsd fglrx-driver
fglrx-modules-dkms glx-alternative-fglrx libfglrx:amd64
libfglrx-amdxvba1:amd64 libgl1-fglrx-glx:amd64
root@robbe:/etc/X11# apt-get purge glx-alternative-nvidia
libegl1-nvidia:amd64 libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64 libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386
libgl1-nvidia-glx-i386 libgles1-nvidia:amd64 libgles2-nvidia:amd64
libnvidia-eglcore:amd64 libnvidia-ml1:amd64 libnvidia-ml1:amd64
libxvmcnvidia1:amd64 nvidia-alternative nvidia-driver nvidia-driver-bin
nvidia-glx nvidia-installer-cleanup nvidia-kernel-common
nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-modprobe nvidia-settings nvidia-support
nvidia-vdpau-driver:amd64 xserver-xorg-video-nvidia
root@robbe:/etc/X11# apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon

xserver-xorg-video-radeon is already the newest version.
xserver-xorg-video-radeon set to manually installed.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
libxnvctrl0
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
root@robbe:/etc/X11#
=======================================================================
Which partially solved my problems. The system is now booting into Gnome
again.
A problem remains: the contents of the screen (I controlled only text
based ones like Thunderbird) are sometimes overwritten. This happens for
lines where the text is partially overwritten with other text (normally
or skewed) and line backgrounds. The contents are restored if I move the
mouse pointer to the distorted parts.
This looks like a driver issue to me. Is there a better mailing list to
cope with these problems as 'debian-user'?
Many thanks to all which helped me,
Kind regards,
Hans
