Description rvcsaba 2026-10-08 21:35:42 UTC
I use Fedora 45 on three computers. It works well on two of them, but on my primary machine, the latest version of Xorg—xorg-x11-server-21.1.25-1.fc45 — fails. The previous version, xorg-x11-server-21.1.24-2.fc45, works flawlessly on this machine as well.

Thanks, it's a known issue upstream, awaiting the fix to land.
