X11 backend doesn’t work in a VM with no GPU #2478

There are open merge requests for wlroots and mesa. You left comments, but it's been awhile, and they're still open. That said, I don't really think this is a wayfire issue. You can have a look at the pixman backend in wayfire for bookworm, if you want to try using it or porting it to latest wayfire. |

Describe the bug
If the X server doesn’t support the DRI3 extension, the X11 backend doesn’t work.
To Reproduce
Start Wayfire in an X11 session with no access to a GPU. This is uncommon on bare hardware, but quite common in VMs.
I hit this when trying to use Wayfire in Qubes OS to see if the current custom Xorg driver could be replaced by a custom Wayfire plugin, but this error shouldn’t be Qubes OS-specific.
Expected behavior
Works using llvmpipe.
Screenshots or stacktrace
N/A. The exact error is:
Wayfire version
Fedora 40 RPM package from the default repository.
