I suspect you just need firmware-linux installed if it isn’t already. That’s if that hardware requires the Radeon firmware.

Excuse me for my broken English.
I don't know what exactly is cause of problem.
Old notebook eMachines d620 with radeon x1200, rs960m.
Driver works but no hardware acceleration.
Because of that some programs do not work properly.
For example, geeqie segfault, vlc crashed when opening file,
firefox crashing tabs etc.
If i disable radeon, all that programs works correctly with vesa driver
but
everything is slow.
I dunno how to fix that. Maybe solution is simple but i am out of
options.
There are multiple radeon drivers. The two main ones are a kernel module
for the
radeon hardware, and a display device driver for X. The X1200 requires the radeon
kernel driver, but possibly not the radeon display device driver. The alternative
is to remove xserver-xorg-video-radeon, which allows the newer technology default
modesetting display driver to be used instead, if it supports the X1200.
It does
not support my X1100, but it does my X1300.
