Guys,
Just updated my laptop's spare drive and something in the last set up updates, which included the kernel, really affected the radeon driver badly. It's almost like I am back running in framebuffer mode. I'm not quite sure where to start troubleshooting as I am not familiar at all with the changes kms introduced into the radeon driver soup, but I suspect that may be where the problem lies. I have no xorg.conf, so if there are config issues, it's with the default config.

Last time I had this problem with a radeon card, it was because of a missing firmware (R700rlc in my case). Maybe you should search in this direction ?
The linux-firmware package now contains all the required firmware for drivers now, IIRC.
