Description Hector Martin 2024-11-16 20:26:17 UTC

The 21.1.13 update dropped 0001-add-a-quirk-for-apple-silicon.patch, but that patch is not in the 21.1 release branch upstream, only master. This broke all Apple Silicon systems.

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xorg-x11-server/c/422064e45a4226682c5d5c2904bd3857ea41faec

I filed an issue upstream to get it cherry-picked: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1768

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to use the Xorg server on Fedora Asahi Remix

Actual Results:  
Xorg fails to start

Expected Results:  
Xorg starts

Filing as Medium because we don't officially support Xorg so we don't consider this a major issue, but still, worth fixing for the folks who insist on not using Wayland since it was caused by a releng mistake and not a new bug.
