It will be installed automatically.

See output of

#lspci -vv

driver radeon should be ideal for the card.

I've installed this card in my desktop pc and get a black screen after debian startup.

I've installed amd-driver-installer-12.6-legacy-x86.x86_64.run from:

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...eon_linux.aspx

and it seems to work.

This usually happens due to kernel mode setting.
Your card is perfect for that....
Your kernel does not have a binary blob and so ...
Either install that or disable modesetting.
You can remove the worser amd driver.

Thx, but what's binary blob?
Can you pls give some more details?

The Debian kernel is a "Libre kernel".
The binary blob will be in a package like 'linux-firmware'

See the table in http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon
(or the xorg page for radeon)

BTW just installing firmware-linux-nonfree can solve this problem as well.
