[2026-01-28 17:18:43] This server has a video driver ABI version of 27.0 that this
driver does not officially support.  Please check
http://www.nvidia.com/ for driver updates or downgrade to an X
server with a supported driver ABI.

[2026-01-28 17:18:43] (EE) NVIDIA: Use the -ignoreABI option to override this check.

X.Org X Server 1.21.1.99

Is this xlibre?

I'm not sure, but i don't believe so no. I got it from the official xorg packages via pacman

Re: xorg refuses to start (NVIDIA related)

It is however

Name            : xorg-server-git
Version         : 21.1.99.1.r2059.g36a7fdd31-1
Description     : Xorg X server (git version)

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xorg-server-git
You can -ignoreABI and *hope* that there're no fatal ABI changes.
