6.14.4-5 doesn't support your Radeon GPU, so you're using the generic
driver from xserver-xorg-video-fbdev in that case.
I suspect your kernel is missing upstream fixes for your GPU.
Meanwhile, Option "NoAccel" should allow you to use at least the basic
display related features of xserver-xorg-video-radeon.
