You shouldn't have the Radeon driver installed at all. That's
for a different manufacturer's boards.
You should have either nouveau or NVidia drivers installed.
Nouveau is open source. NVidia is closed-source.
Together with that, you need the Kernel Modesetting driver.
I suspect what you're seeing is a lack of correct driver,
leading to a fallback to VESA standards.
