I have the same issue with an AMD Radeon HD 5450 (on a kgpe-d16 from vikings.net):
$ lspci -nn
...
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cedar [Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series] [1002:68f9]
...
With "xf86-video-ati-1:19.0.1-1" X starts without problem.
With "xf86-video-ati-1:19.0.1-1" and "xf86-video-ati-1:19.0.1-2" X does not start. I see only a solid cursor in the upper left corner. I cannot switch to a TTY with Ctrl+Shift+Fx. I must use a different computer and fix the problem by downgrading the package with:
$ cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg && sudo pacman -U xf86-video-ati-1\:19.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
...
warning: downgrading package xf86-video-ati (1:19.1.0-1 => 1:19.0.1-1)
...
Kernel version does not matter from my point of view. The "xf86-video-ati-1:19.0.1-1" version works with these kernels:
$ uname -a
Linux kgpe-d16 5.5.7-gnu-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon, 02 Mar 2020 22:54:55 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ uname -a
