It isn't clear to me from your description what your problem is.  Is
there no video?  Is the video at the wrong resolution?  Does X (or
wayland) fail to start?  If your system is using the radeon driver from
the kernel, I think that is the best that the kernel provides for older
radeon hardware. There is an amdgpu module for newer hardware.

wayland might not support older hardware.  In X, you will need to be
sure that the correct xorg-X11-driver package is installed, 
xorg-x11-drv-ati.

What does lsmod show for the module the kernel is using?
What shows in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

Can you successfully boot into multiuser (runlevel 3)?  When the grub
menu comes up, you can hit a key and edit the kernel option line to add
a 3 to the end of it to boot into multiuser.  If you can, what happens
if you then run the command startx?
