my forked Crouton repo yes it not changed the src at all yet, the chromebookOS was just updated monday
the main branch not changed since 2016 amd64 work in both Xiwi and Xorg , arm64 Xiwi cannot find the display Xorg finds the GPU and IDs it
Xiwi uses the older X org via the backward compat , Xorg uses the current release amd64

Sorry, I'm having a hard time following what you're saying. Did you compile the latest Xorg yourself? If so, you might be missing some of the patches that crouton applies to the dummy device.
well so here it is, xserver is offical release from Xorg yes is was complied on both amd64 and arm64 Debian run amd64 both Xiwi and Xorg stable. the crouton -r -t use the latest X86 free driver and complies it for the install. i then use the X11 update to Xorg libs the Debootstrap script you wrote compiles to the latest Xorg Libs and Xorg run the older server for Xiwi automatic amd64 jammy fails both Xorg and Xiwi arm64 bullseye and bookworm run the same Xorg works Xiwi fails kali-rolling the debootstrap install missing dbus-x11 you have to apt install dbus-x11 for Xiwi to work Xorg fails have not tried the latest Xserver
you apply the latest update on install the crouton src need work it seems so yes the dummy driver is not used for amd64, both Xiwi and Xorg run. arm64 find the correct GPU and uses it Xiwi want the freedriver it fails arm64 xiwi
hello

hello good to have your thoughts back excellent i spent some time with Git today to update the branches and update my repo I really do not think the X86free drive is used anymore it is still supports on VM boxes with no display, The Xserver code is in full Dev still, it knows chomebook is not a VM device with dummy driver, you admit this is a hack LOL
