Thanks for your suggestions.
I seem not to be using nomodeset but am not sure.
While running 15.3 grub file shows:
# /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.
# Uncomment to set your own custom distributor. If you leave it unset or empty,
the default
# policy is to determine the value from /etc/os-release

Meanwhile in 15.3 the Application menu -Settings- System Settings -Display and
Monitor window
appears to be stuck at resolution 1400 x 1050 and 77hz
i.e. Drop-down has no other options
Although not extensively explored everything seems to be ok except
for the monitor display settings.
One thing I noticed is that there appear to be two radeon.ko files in the
15.2
snapshot:
-------------
> locate radeon.ko
/lib/modules/5.3.18-lp152.102-default/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko

While solving the previous black screen (15.3) problem I copied the newer
radion.ko file.
