I did

sudo rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*
sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-video-radeon

and rebooted. I got

inxi -Fxz

(...)

Graphics:

  Device-1: AMD Caicos PRO [Radeon HD 7450] vendor: ASUSTeK driver: radeon
  v: kernel bus ID: 09:00.0
  Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa
  resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
  OpenGL: renderer: N/A v: N/A direct render: N/A 

So X11 is running the modesetting driver but not opengl, while the ASUSTeK driver still seems to be radeon.

I'm not sure what to do next
