Debian Jessie Mate Resolution Fix for an AMD Radeon Card

Note: possibly outdated

How-To

  1. Open /etc/apt/sources.list with your favorite text editor
  2. Change your deb sources so it looks something like this: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
    1. The important part is jessie...non-free
  3. Run: 
    # apt-get update

# apt-get install firmware-realtek

# apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree
  4. Reboot (or maybe just logout?)

first of all excuse my English I do not speak the idiom but google translate helped me.

Thanks a lot this fix my problem to perfection, it should be noted that I am new to linux and before finding this solution install the private controller of ati for R8330 and end up damaging my installation of debia jessie my gnome desktop and installing the distro again

regards
