As you've noted the issue is that XA is no longer built by default in Mesa 25.1 and will be removed completely in Mesa 25.2. You'll have to build your own Mesa with XA enabled for 25.1. After 25.1 our recommendation going forward is to use the Modesetting driver or use Wayland. The driver is basically useless without XA and unlikely to work well, if at all.

no longer works with mesa>=25.2
