> does kernel 6.7.8 with Mesa 24.0.3 work?
6.7.9 does, as long as appropriate kernel cmdline options are applied:

It looks to me like the primary problem, if there is more than one problem
here, is the radeon kernel module is incompatible with radeonsi_dri:

3rd & 4th tries using radeon.cik_support=1 modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu produced
1024x768 again.
radeon.cik_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=0 instead of radeon.cik_support=1
modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu immediatly locks up this GCN #2 ara88 host with black
screens, same as including neither *radeon* nor *amdgpu*.
At this point I installed kernel-default-6.8.7. No outright X11/XDM failures
result booting with:
1-radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1, or
2-modprobe.blacklist=radeon amdgpu.cik_support=1.
X11/XDM failures result from:
1-including neither *radeon* nor *amdgpu*
2-radeon.cik_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=0
3-radeon.cik_support=1 modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu
4-radeon.cik_support=1
5-modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu
6-modprobe.blacklist=radeon
7-amdgpu.cik_support=1
I see no apparent impact of choice of kernel from 6.5.9 through 6.8.7. All
behave the same WRT kernel cmdline requirements for successful X11/XDM
behavior.
