I too have encountered this issue after downloading Armbian 22.08 Jammy XFCE (Release date: Oct 28, 2022). It appears that X server is crashing on launch with a backtrace. See the attached Xorg.0.log.
Searching on Google leads to the following thread and the suggestion to use mesa-git instead of the distro mesa:

I know it is an old thread, but it got me thinking that this may be a related and/or similar issue. At the very least it made me realize the issue is likely related to Mesa drivers, so I decided to try enabling Oibaf PPA to get the latest Mesa drivers. While doing so I came to realize that Armbian is already building images with the Oibaf PPA enabled:
anderson@rock64:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat oibaf.list
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/oibaf.gpg] http://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/oibaf/graphics-drivers/ubuntu/ jammy main
So, I decided to instead purge out the PPA to see if the issue is only present in newer Mesa drivers:
anderson@rock64:~$ sudo apt install ppa-purge
anderson@rock64:~$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
anderson@rock64:~$ sudo reboot
After purging the Oibaf PPA drivers I can at least get X server to start, however it is not a good solution. There are some graphical glitches such as black bands across the screen when it is redrawn in high activity cases. These black bands happen for me when I move the mouse cursor around quickly at the login screen, or when I drag a window around rapidly on the desktop.
In any event, this almost certainly appears to be an issue with the rockchip_drm driver and/or Mesa driver. I don't know if this is in Mesa, Xorg or both, but it likely needs a bug filed upstream with one of those projects in order to get a fix.
