I checked the patches, they are in (since the kernel is 6.8, I only checked the first 10 as I assume the rest are merged in per the guide. I’m now able to get to fbconsole (my own error), but no X server.
I do now see a lot of
[ 19.844465] NVRM rpcRmApiControl_dce: NVRM_RPC_DCE: Failed RM ctrl call cmd:0x731341 result 0xffff in dmesg.
When looking into Xorg log, I see lines that appear on 6.8 but not stock 5.15:
