Upon launching GNOME on Xorg from GDM for example on my RX 6600 pointer follows mouse movement but the desktop rendering itself doesn't go further than a single frame which can be advanced by switching to another TTY and back again to get the next one.

A workaround may be the following as /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-kms-no-pageflip.conf for example:

Section "Device"
       Identifier "kms"
       Driver "modesetting"
       Option "PageFlip" "off"
EndSection

Keep in mind this may cause problems such as screen tearing etc.

Reportedly @q66 also tested Enlightenment (X11) without the above workaround and it worked fine.

main/mutter: upgrade back to 44.4

It seems the issue was caused by me having a leftover compiled
glib schema in /usr/local, probably from when trying to figure
out #184 and was
trying older versions of mutter in the process.

This will probably be wontfix, it seems Fedora might drop X11 session support in GNOME relatively soon (https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-40-Eyes-No-X11-Session) which means it should become possible in upstream to disable it - Chimera will probably follow suit here shortly (AFAICT there is practically no benefit to running X11 GNOME)
