Using Arch with T2 kernel. 5.19.3-arch1-1-t2.
Got a macbook 2016 with intel iGPU.

Reading the xorg-log I get the following errors and warnings:

WW: Open ACPI failed (var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
EE: Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist)
EE: Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist)
EE: AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so failed (No such file or directory)

bruh at tthis point i'd just try wayland

#

haven't ever seen such a broken Xorg

shy fiber
#

ok so someone suggested to rename the conflicting files

#

did that, xorg installed fully now

#

now im getting the open ACPI failed

#

and font mind, otf, type1 does not exist

#

ehm okay, so after some suggestions i installed acpid and also added

And i created a /etc/rc.conf file, with this inside:
DAEMONS=(hal acpid)

#

pacman couldnt find hal so idk about that

#

acpid is enabled and started and no error in the log

#

now theres no errors in the log, only warnings

#

the following

#

directory fonts/misc, font/OFT, font/Type1 does not exist
and
falling back to old probe method for modesetting
falling back to old probe method for fbdev

#

oh my initrc was empty
