Problems with debian jessie non-free

Sorry, just catching up. You probably just needed to install firmware-linux-nonfree to get your graphics to work properly. They have also split firmware-amd-graphics out from that but it's only in backports, testing, or unstable.

If your system and/or graphics were less than a couple of years old, I would have also suggested installing a newer kernel from jessie-backports repository, but a 4 year old system should would fine with stock Jessie.

I'm happy to see you got it working with Stretch now anyway. Stretch will be released as stable very soon so you are unlikely to have issues with it.

@Mel - Just out of interest, what does inxi -F show now? You can install inxi from the repo if you don't have it.

Here it is
