As an aside, perhaps amdgpu (and maybe radeon) has a second issue - I
was testing out systemrescuecd-6.03 the other day - it has a 4.19
kernel and startx fails, trying to load radeon instead of amdgpu
(Picasso vga is not recognized, I suppose). By 'installing' the
stick's contents in RAM I was able to drop radeon and amdgpu, but
then startx failed, it could not use the framebuffer which I guess
was not surprising because it didn't know about the Picasso firmware.
I do not think your original problem involved video at all. It was that you
had no mouse/kbd input.
Correct, when I reported it on my haswell with intel graphics. But
on all my builds with either radeon or amdgpu, Xorg failed to start
(although Douglas reported with systemd and 9.0 that radeon worked
for him).

I really have no use for cracklib on my own machines. Anyway, I've
restored from the backup and added all the extra xcb-util parts.
And startx (as a user) still failed.

So on amdgpu I definitely have a separate problem.
But it works as root, right?
Debian bug (for sysvinit)
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=801605
is on an amd or radeon machine, reply says logind needs to be
running and working, apparently fixed for normal user by installing
libpam-systemd and systemd-shim.
A long thread from 2016.
But someone else had a similar problem with AMD Mullins, not fixed
by installing those, fixed by suid. Or alternatively fixed by
enabling the root perms in the systemd wrapper.
As best I can tell, something in the AMDGPU driver appears to do
something dependent on something in systemd. It is a lot to ask, but
you might want to do a systemd minimal build through xorg to see if that
works. Another option would be to try an inexpensive nvidia card to see
if that gives different results.
