Apparently the change in xorg-server will be reverted in 21.1.2 next week:
Arch itself might be opting to revert in it’s package sooner:

The update of an old Nvidia driver just now fails with all 3 of pacman, yay, and pamac. Here’s the output from my terminal. What should I do?

Temporarily ignore the update for mhwd-nvidia-470xx. They’re only database files and it appears you don’t have the NVIDIA 470 driver installed, anyway. I’ll look at it tomorrow.
EDIT: Fixed with mhwd-nvidia-470xx 470.86-2.

Since last Update (09.November2021)
GNOME boots into Wayland, although “X-11” is choosen (= target wanted).
Automatic login, entry “Gnome on xorg” selected.
Manual login into x-org works, if switched from “Gnome on xorg” to “Gnome”
and back to “Gnome on xorg”. Does not survive reboot…
Simple solution:
edit: /etc/gdm/custom and uncheck “WaylandEnable=false”
NO really a solution, only workaround.
Whats wrong with the Tigers??
