Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
Your XOrg conf ig has got hard definitions of your devices which aren't matching what is being detected. Probably best to let auto detection do it's thing.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This happened to me by even though I had never hard configured anything… had to go to the config folder and find the offending definition and delete it
Well, for starters, unless you're running a quite old card you should be using amdgpu, not radeon. You seem to have them both loaded.
Post a dmesg?
I have R9 280
That looks to be Volcanic Islands, which has good support with amdgpu and no support by radeon, according to Wikipedia.
I'm not sure what you meant by "set up radron kernel driver", but you could maybe try blacklisting it.
Driver isn't loaded.
Firmware is not a driver.
Kernel driver is loaded
# lsmod | grep radeon
radeon 1888256 9
video 77824 2 amdgpu,radeon
i2c_algo_bit 12288 2 amdgpu,radeon
drm_suballoc_helper 12288 2 amdgpu,radeon
drm_display_helper 266240 2 amdgpu,radeon
drm_ttm_helper 12288 2 amdgpu,radeon
ttm 102400 3 amdgpu,radeon,drm_ttm_helper
drm_kms_helper 253952 3 drm_display_helper,amdgpu,radeon
drm 749568 16 gpu_sched,drm_kms_helper,drm_exec,drm_suballoc_helper,drm_display_helper,drm_buddy,amdgpu,radeon,drm_ttm_helper,ttm,amdxcp
Then I'm lost. What's your issue?
X server isn't starting
Get logs
I added logs to post
@user_naa
I have a computer where xserver not work if you try to use it together with the internal graphiccard. With Wayland even a Screen on this internal card works.
So I propose to try Wayland.
Device initalization failed according to the Xorg logs;
- Dump your firmware version
- Dump your kernel version
- Dump your kernel logs (
dmesgorjournalctl -k)
Additionally you can try and force use amdgpu rather than radeon, by setting the kernel flags:
radeon.cik_support=0 radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.dc=1
I tried this, didn't help.
