thanks to all. Brian is right with his opinion that I'm not subscribed

The reply comes back to the address you subscribed from. Maybe that
wasn't h...@hanswkraus.com. But we will not dwell on that; you can sort
it out at another time.
How do I switch drivers under Debian, especiallay from the "AMD FGLRX driver
for Radeon adapters" to the "free radeon driver, which is the default in
jessie"?
I did not mean to imply you are using the FGLRX driver. Your "lspci -v"
output shows
> Kernel driver in use: radeon
which implies otherwise. But the journalctl output doesn't look happy.
To answer your question:
dpkg -l | grep fglrx
Lines with "ii" indicate installed packages. Purge and see what a reboot
does.
root@robbe:~# dpkg -l | grep fglrx
ii fglrx-atieventsd
1:15.9-4~deb8u2 amd64 events daemon for the
non-free ATI/AMD RadeonHD display driver
ii fglrx-driver
1:15.9-4~deb8u2 amd64 non-free ATI/AMD
RadeonHD display driver
ii fglrx-modules-dkms
1:15.9-4~deb8u2 amd64 dkms module source for
the non-free ATI/AMD RadeonHD display driver
ii glx-alternative-fglrx 0.5.1
amd64 allows the selection of FGLRX
as GLX provider
ii libfglrx:amd64
1:15.9-4~deb8u2 amd64 non-free ATI/AMD
RadeonHD display driver (runtime libraries)
ii libfglrx-amdxvba1:amd64
1:15.9-4~deb8u2 amd64 AMD XvBA (X-Video
Bitstream Acceleration) backend for VA API
ii libgl1-fglrx-glx:amd64
1:15.9-4~deb8u2 amd64 proprietary libGL for
the non-free ATI/AMD RadeonHD display driver
Is it OK to purge all these?
(What does the glxinfo command give?)
root@robbe:~# glxinfo
Error: unable to open display
Thanks,
Hans
