None of this changed anything, except that removing the image.elf line meant I no longer heard a few seconds of a whine of the computer doing something. But I have good news: I finally thought to try an older image, and 22.04 boots successfully! I read that Genode 22.05 brought display driver changes. The X20* Hardware Maintenance Manual shows a few different FRUs for the panel.
