The relevant part of the inxi man page says:

-G , --graphics
              Show Graphic device(s) information, including details of device and display drivers (X: loaded:, and, if applicable: unloaded:, failed:, dri: (if X and different
              from loaded X drivers) drivers, and active gpu: drivers), display protocol (if available), display server (and/or Wayland compositor), vendor and version number,
              e.g.:

              Display: x11 server: Xorg v: 1.15.1

              or

              Display: wayland server: X.org v: 1.20.1 with: Xwayland v: 20.1

              If protocol is not detected, shows:

              Display: server: Xorg 1.15.1

which doesn't match what I'm getting. So either a bug in inxi or a bug
in its man page.
