You can try these either on the installed MX (as you did on Grub menu) and the ahs live-session, as boot options:

Code: Select all

radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1
or (next trial)

Code: Select all

radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1

Reboot with

Code: Select all

radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1
You can again create:

Code: Select all

sudo tee /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf <<!
Section "Device"
     Identifier "AMD"
     Driver "amdgpu"
EndSection
!
(In case of blackscreen we'll delete or rename to .old)

Boots to black screen, and my monitor turns off.

Ok, you can delete it on live session (via file manager) or as you did previously at boot Ctrl alt F1

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf
Meanwhile, on some places it's mentioned that, that card was not supported by AMD.. that may be the reason it does not load the driver(s).. Only one: https://community.amd.com/thread/215489

You can.. just with the Vesa driver it's already using..

(Though it looks it's supported with kernels you tried: https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id ... -1462-3050 )
