Hi!
When I turn on my Asus laptop it failed to start showing the following message (and get stuck at this point): Failed to start Load/Save ness of backlight:acpi_video0.
In order to find out the origin of the problem, I run 2 commands: inxi -Fzxxxm and sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x0.st obtaining this URL https://0x0.st/i78E.txt. After reading it, I just see that Xorg is core-dumping and that there is a problem with amdgpu driver.
Later, someone told me that this error is due to deprecated Kernel (I have Kernel: 5.6.15-1-MANJARO), and that a kernel upgrade could solve the problem. For that reason I decided to install a new kernel (now I have linux59), but the problem persist.
I also run the command startx, getting many errors:

I’ve run the commands you suggested but nothing new happened. https://0x0.st/i7uT.txt.
(Also run again startx with same errors on server):

I’ve installed linux59 and linux54 kernels with no positive results (the problem with Xorg persist).
Searching, I found in the forum a very similar case https://forum.manjaro.org/t/black-screen-after-installing-blender/15090, (in my case, the last thing I made before system start failing, was install Blender), in which the person solved the problem installing the propietary dirvers form Nvidia. So, I installed a new driver (video-nvidia-450xx) because was available with kernel 5.9 and linux 5.4, but surprisingly, nothing change: when boot the system it stuck in black screen and show the same message: Failed to start Load/Save ness of baclight:acpi_video0".
*At the moment I’ve in my system: video-nvidia450xx and video-linux.
Running command journalctl -p err show same errors:

What can I do to troubleshoot this? Is there any way or do I have to restore manjaro?
*I also removed blender from the CLI doing a chroot from a live system, but this doesn’t solve the problem.
