You need to install the firmware-amd-graphics package. Without it the
radeon kernel module does not work, which leads tho the following
problem:

Hence, the modesetting and radeon drivers don't work.

And the vesa driver does not work either because it needs root rights
which the X server does no longer have. See
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-core/NEWS.Debian.gz.
