Bug description:
[Impact]
NVIDIA driver has a hardcoded version check to see if a bug has been fixed in
the xserver version. It does not help to backport the fix to the jammy xserver,
as the driver has no way to check if the fix is there or not.
We need to backport xorg-server from kinetic to jammy.
[Test case]
install xserver update, check that lagginess is gone
[Regression potential]
This is a backport of kinetic xorg-server to jammy, with 34 new upstream
commits of which three were already backported due to CVE's, and a bugfix. 18
commits only touch darwin/XQuartz and won't affect us. As such, there should be
a low chance of things breaking. Here's a list of the remaining 12 commits with
above filtered out:

--- original info
[Summary]
When the graphic mode is on-demand mode and plug in the monitor to HDMI port,
there are two issue occures:
1. External monitor's screen is very laggy in external monitor mode only.
2. External monitor's screen sometimes (~50%) will be black in join display
mode.
[Steps to reproduce]
1. Boot in OS
2. Plug in the external monitor in HDMI port
3. Find the cursor moving in external monitor is laggy
[Workaround]
Downgrade to NVIDIA driver 515.
[Additional information]
Feedback from NV:
An NVIDIA driver built with the features needed to get rid of the laggy
monitor problem causes Xorg 1.21.1.3 to crash. There's a patch for Xorg to fix
the crash (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1275) and it
was first included in the 1.21.1.4 release.
Since the older X servers crash, NVIDIA deliberately does a version check in
the driver and enables these features for Xorg servers that are known to work,
i.e. 1.21.1.4 or higher.
This unfortunately prevents backporting the fix to 1.21.1.3.
Engineering has chosen this approach since a crash is worse than the
low FPS lag and the user might lose work merely by plugging/unplugging
displays. If it was about a performance degradation, slight
corruption, or something non-fatal, we wouldn't need to check Xorg
version
