I hit this problem in 2022 with a smililar chipset on an Asus laptop. (I tried other Linux distributions, too, including Fedora and Debian with with X.org and Ubuntu with X.orf and with Wayland.
The critical point is that I was able to log into console (Ctrl-Alt-F2), but not in the graphical environment.
I was able to resolve this problem (with any didtribution) by blacklisting the Radeon driver / module.
It took me quite a long time to figure this out.
I believe we should contact the radeon driver developers team.
This is how you blacklist the radeon module:
Edit (or create) the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf as super user.
Add the line
blacklist radeon
Run
$ sudo update-initramfs -u
(If a Fedora user comes upon this forum, run
# dracut --regenerate-all --force
)
Then, reboot your computer. Double-check that radeon is blacklisted by runnning
Here are the chipset details:
