That's expected, we changed the module version scheme after 6.9.0.

So it doesn't look like you did anything wrong testing the different
driver versions.

What else changed between the working and broken setups?
xserver-xorg-core presumably, but maybe also the kernel? Are you using
radeonfb for console?

When you tested Option "DRI" "off", did you verify in the log file that
direct rendering was indeed disabled?
