The xlibre packages have been moved from the galaxy-gremlins (testing) repository to the galaxy (stable) one.
The xorg packages are also still available, so users can choose which packages to install and run.
For more information about XLibre on Artix see wiki page https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Site/XlibreOnArtix

wow - Nice work. I didn't expect this for another month or longer after watching the threads. Thank you
Version 25.0.0.5 is now available for testing in the galaxy-gremlins repository.

I have yet another stupid question...
will Xlibre work from lxdm et al? Or does it need to be started from the command line with startx?
I removed my lightdm in favor of lxdm. Just ensure you install the lxdm-(your init system). Works fine for me.
I have more tweaking to get it to run a script that sets my res and turns off my laptop screen but that can be called from .bashrc if need be.
With lightdm, there was a bit in the conf that allowed a script to run that took care of that for me on boot up. But like I said, I have more work to do with lxdm and to set a more pleasing theme.
So to directly answer your question, no but you will need the correct init bit for it to startup after boot
Xlibre is immediately a better experience than Xorg. Tearing is gone despite not running a compositor. Good stuff!
Thank you very much.
XLibre is great!
Thank you so much for xlibre you did such a great work keep it up i love artix linux no more xorg for me only xlibre its safe and maintain "Artist :-* "
XLibre is an X11 server that aims, among the other things, to not break the protocol, everything that works on XOrg but not XLibre is technically an XLibre bug you should report in its issue tracker.
I'm not using a display manager, but I'm pretty sure XLibre should work with all the ones that support XOrg out of the box.
The question is not really exclusive to lxdm. It could be xdm or any other graphical login (that usually runs on X).
Currently my pstree looks like this:
|-lxdm-binary-+-Xorg---4*[{Xorg}]
| `-lxdm-session---wmaker-+-proxy.sh---ssh
| `-wmaker-+-chromium-+-chromium---chromium---22*[{chromium}]
| | |-chromium---chromium-+-28*[chromium---13*[{chromium}]]
| | | |-3*[chromium---17*[{chromium}]]
| | | |-3*[chromium---14*[{chromium}]]
| | | |-chromium---16*[{chromium}]
| | | |-chromium---9*[{chromium}]
| | | `-chromium---8*[{chromium}]
| | |-chromium---12*[{chromium}]
| | |-chromium---6*[{chromium}]
| | `-36*[{chromium}]
| |-firefox-+-5*[Isolated Web Co---28*[{Isolated Web Co}]]
etc. So it says Xorg.
Xorg is a binary on the file system
flatbush:[ruben]:~$ which Xorg
/usr/bin/Xorg
If I change to Xlibre lxdm will find the new X server? I am assuming from what I cam reading the answer is yes.
It is interesting though that init kicks off lxdm directly as a server without X. That is not how I thought it works.
I thought lxdm ran on X
flatbush:[ruben]:~$ ps -auxw|grep lxdm
root 2023 0.0 0.0 4904 2488 ? Ss Jun27 0:00 /usr/bin/lxdm-binary -d
root 2044 1.5 0.3 797616 246836 ? Ssl Jun27 343:43 /usr/lib/Xorg -background none :0 vt01 -nolisten tcp -novtswitch -auth /var/run/lxdm/lxdm-:0.auth
ruben 17242 0.0 0.0 6452 3956 pts/3 S+ 19:23 0:00 grep --colour=auto lxdm
root 23030 0.0 0.0 9940 5464 ? S Jul06 0:00 /usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-session
I tried running lxdm on an alternate terminal I can easily startx and x comes up with the window manager. But lxdm silently does nothing. This doesn't work as simply as I thought.
The binary for XLibre is also called Xorg, that's one of the reasons why it should just work. If it doesn't work out of the box, you should probably send a bug report directly to XLibre.
This is cool ! Sadly
i3 doesn't support pseudo-transparency, :( If it did I would drop
picom at once.
Just installed it, gonna try it out. Might finally ditch wayland that's caused me nothing but trouble.
EDIT: it works well so far, I wonder if I can enable VRR on it (I could enable it on wayland but it would make the display flicker)
Runs great here on two machines. Thanks 😶🌫️
XLibre works here pretty much the same as the pre-fork X11 did on my Intel machine and with no nasty surprises, so far so good!
It is running here very reliable and fast and it seems here, some opengl glitches are gone now, too.
It is super easy to install, it is easy to switch to Xlibre: running Xlibre now on two different machines and I can not see one issue!
One thing!!!
The installer does not install the Xlibre driver package of the system´ s gpu, so you have to do it yourself.
Very little problem here:
it is working without that driver but some functionality is missing and if you are not an experienced user it might take a while til you find out that you simply have to install the appropriate Xlibre driver package after the Xlibre install.
Issues you might notice if this driver package is not installed:
Xrandr does not find more then one display
brightness of display can not be set
X(libre) session quits sometimes when just closing a window.
Thank you for your feedback!

I have run a few searches trough logs, using metalog also, everything seems correct, no broken tags:

There are more entries for [Xorg<space>], this is just random selection, but they all look normal.
Edit: line numbers in front of every line are because I searched with 'ag'.
Aight, thanks, so this must be something with my setup. Good thing I asked before writing at xlibre's issues.
The log issue described here above seems crystal clear to me.
When those things are appearing the situation is always the same, doesn´t matter if on Windows, OSX, Linux, Android or BSD:
you have opened a text file, that has fonts, that weren't recognized by the system, so, you will see these symbols.
Two possible reasons, I guess:
you have to install the missing font package
or
you have to chose another encoding mechanism in the preferences of your text reader.
Xlibre is rock solid.
No, you are absolutely wrong, everything on my PC is properly configured when it comes to fonts. This was parsed directly to file from faulty stdout. And I already found the issue in Xlibre.
Did you already report the issue upstream?
Not really, because I'm still debugging and bisecting stuff. Well, as long as it's not overwriting anything in that buffer it shouldn't cause issues (tho it's still bad).
