Thankfully (I think), I was able to scp the X.org log file to another

understand why it's dying. My graphics card is a fairly recent AMD RX 6500
XT which works fine under Windows and is claimed to be supported by X.
[ 13.537] Current Operating System: Linux mx1 5.10.0-13-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5

The kernel is too old. RX 6000 generation needs 5.12 or new >
MX has an Advanced Hardware Support repository which they claim supports
more recent hardware. Try the .iso image with "ahs" in the name, if that
isn't the one that you are using now. The ahs .iso boots into Xfce, not
KDE.
If kernel is too old, then how does "advanced hardware support" fix it?
They use newer kernel?
Anyways, this is too much work for a user. If you want the latest
distro, just wait for Fedora-36 or try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Or, bite
the bullet and try Kubuntu-22.04 (hopefully 22.04.1 will fix some of the
issues).
