Neither ATI nor AMDGPU supports the resolutions for my 6520g BeaverCreek Graphics that catalyst does

In catalyst i can get:
randr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 900, maximum 8192 x 8192
DFP1 connected 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 640mm x 360mm
1600x900 59.94+
1920x1080 60.00 + 59.94
1776x1000 59.94
1680x1050 60.00 59.94
1400x1050 60.00 59.94
1280x1024 60.00 59.94
1440x900 59.94
1280x960 59.94
1360x768 59.94
1280x768 59.94
1280x720 60.00 59.94
1024x768 60.00
1152x648 59.94
1024x600 60.00
800x600 60.32
800x480 60.32
720x480 60.00 60.00 59.94 59.94
640x480 60.00 59.94
but with the open source drivers i can not get (that is to say that xrandr doesn't list them):
1600x900 59.94+
1776x1000 59.94
1680x1050 60.00 59.94
1400x1050 60.00 59.94
1440x900 59.94
1280x960 59.94
1360x768 59.94
With either of the free drivers, ati or amdgpu the highest res i can get to fit on my viewable area is 1024x768 and that just sucks.
I've tried making a simple xorg.conf and added modelines for the above resolutions like this:
xrandr --newmode "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode YOUR_OUT "1600x900_60.00"
xrandr --output YOUR_OUT --mode "1600x900_60.00"
I tried this with all the resolutions that don't show up in xrandr with the free driver and for the results of that effort i get a blank screen.
Could you please provide the same resolution support with the free drivers that my graphics card is capable of supporting.
Thank you.
