Problems with graphics mode on some notebooks with ATI Radeon

[Medved]

I've got the problem installing mint 18.1 on 2 notebooks with Radeon of different models.
System installed, but after reboot it operates only in the text console mode, reporting the error that it cannot start X. Some people on the net propose to add kernel parameters at boot time: xforcevesa and nomodeset.

Solution: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace vesa driver with radeon:
Section "Device"
        Identifier "Configured Video Device"
# Driver "vesa"
        Driver "radeon"
        Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
        Option "AccelDFS" "1"
EndSection

AMD do not like to support native "old" devices and new systems.
