Can't install xorg on Fedora Workstation 41 Beta

Hello people,

I downloaded a daily build of Fedora Workstation 41 beta from koji but I cannot make Xorg appear in the cog wheel on the login screen.

I tried few times, installing it with:
sudo dnf install @base-x
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-server-Xorg
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu

It installs fine and there is no apparent problem but after restart the cog wheel doesn’t have the option to switch to it, only Gnome(Wayland) and Gnome classic (Wayland).

I need to use xorg for the time being because Mumble’s push to talk keybind dosen’t work on wayland.

Any idea how to make it work?

Strange : I’m on a clean F41 install since a few weeks, where I was happily using X11 (after installing gnome-session-xsession).
Today I realized that I was back to a Wayland session ; I’ve checked that gnome-session-xsession is still installed, and I’ve tried uninstalling then reinstalling it, but the X11 options do not appear anymore while logging in.
Any hint ?

Fixed with F41 release.

@vgaetera, are the aforelisted packages still prerequisites that must be manually installed – sudo dnf install @base-x, etcetera – or are they pulled by gnome-session-xsession?
