Downgrading, reverting, the upgrade. Hopefully, everything will work, and
upgrading each package own its own? What packages were upgraded?
Yes,
That may be a bit of a challenge. There were 2-days worth of updates, but
from an overview standpoint -- it looks like the kernel is the most likely
culprit and the nvidia driver. I have another Arch box with Intel graphics,
and startx/fluxbox works fine there. Thinking it may be the AUR drivers, I
rebuilt the nvidia drivers as well, e.g.
$ pmq | grep nvidia
nvidia-390xx-dkms 390.157-1
nvidia-390xx-settings 390.157-1
nvidia-390xx-utils 390.157-1
opencl-nvidia-390xx 390.157-1

Maybe I'm just not smart enough to pick out any other packages other than
the kernel update that seems a likely candidate to cause issues with the X
connection and nvidia driver. The rest of the packages look benign except for
building or application specific stuff. The libjxl is just required by SDL2,
so that shouldn't bork the X connection?
Moreover linux 6.1.9.arch1-1 worked fine, so it is really curious that the
6.1.9.arch1-1 -> 6.1.9.arch1-2 would break -- but anything is possible. Will
report back after further testing on downgrades and LTS.
If something else looks pertinent, please let me know.
