the updated evdev package had already been
installed on the 6.0 machine, and so had not solved
(or, was still part of) the problem of a flickering
monitor and inability to fully load KDE.

So for me the situation is still unresolved - currently
running on base packages shoe-horned back in.

Although off-topic for this discussion, I will just add
here that the updated kernel ran fine on both 6.0
and 6.2
