[SOLVED] can't run X: UEFI Microsoft scam

I have an Intel NUC13ANKi7 which won't run X (tried 1280x1024 and now 1920x1080). It has 'VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 04)'. The main line from Xorg.log (below) is 'vesa: Refusing to run on UEFI'. Is there any option that currently works other than waiting for new Linux kernel Intel display drivers?
