I got the old packages from http://boisson.homeip.net/debian/Xorg7.4/i386/ did a dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-ati_1:6.12.3-1_i386.deb , same issue. Then I realized that Xorg log showed Radeon entries (obviously, since it's a Radeon). Tried to downgrade to xserver-xorg-video-radeon_1:6.12.3-1_i386.deb , failed. Had to downgrade xserver-xorg-core (was 2:1.7.5-1) to 2:1.6.5-1 , then downgrading to xserver-xorg-video-radeon_1:6.12.3-1_i386.deb was possible and the screen WORKED as it used to. Trying to re-upgrade to xserver-xorg-video-radeon_1:6.12.3-1_i386.deb (to check whether the problem lies with -core or -radeon) unfortunately failed since it requires xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.6.99.900).
