No response

Expected behaviour

startx starts usable Xserver

Actual behaviour

After updating this package, it is not possible to start the Xserver with startx. When doing so, it results in a black screen. Even changing to another TTY with ctrl-alt-f2-7 does not work. Downgrading the issue fixes the issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. Running VMware® Workstation Pro 25H2 25.0.0.24995812

2. Updating package

$ sudo xbps-install -Su
