Xorg -configure is a waste of time that rarely works for graphics issues.

openSUSE, like most current distros, should work just fine automatically, with no
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and no configuration files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
affecting graphics.

Make sure xf86-video-amdgpu, kernel-firmware-amdgpu and libdrm_amdgpu1 are all
installed, and try again with no xorg.conf file. If it doesn't work, watch for the
next TW release, then upgrade right away. I saw mention of an X bug with AMD, but
don't know any details except that the bug was found right at release and the fix
is in the pipe to whichever release follows 20220516. I may have the same problem,
and have been trying to find the package at fault. I think it may be
kernel-firmware-amdgpu. If this is it, you should be able to simply use a previous
kernel whose initrd was not rebuilt with the current kernel-firmware-amdgpu version.
