It seems developers no longer use AMD/ATI GPUs as old as yours, so have been
missing regressions they cause, and only get fixed by accident or when users
report them. Try removing xorg-x11-drv-ati, then restarting X. That should switch
Xorg from using the radeon DDX display driver to using the upstream default
modesetting DIX display driver. It may solve your problem.

> Why the firmware is missing?

Package amd-gpu-firmware includes firmware for ati/radeon. If it is not installed,
try installing it and restarting X before changing the display driver as above.

Recent versions of inxi do not output lines of more than 80-90 characters,
suggesting your inxi may be an old version from f35. In f38 inxi is nearly
current. You may also try updating thus:

	sudo inxi -U

Recent versions do a much better job with -GSaz. For best results, run it in an X
terminal.
