Dear all,
I just read that ubuntu and debian are switching to the modesetting driver in favor of the intel-driver. Now, I am wondering how to test the modesetting driver in TW and how to check which driver is actually used here?
Kind regards, Robby.
Same as everwhere, I assume: set 'Driver "modesetting"' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf and restart X. However, "modesetting" is quite bad for radeon cards with multiple monitors, at least for me. I have no idea what hacks they use to automatically replace only intel driver with it, maybe just not installing it is sufficient.
I don't know. You tell us ;) I hope you are able to deal with broken X and have nice console text editor, in case anything goes wrong. I also just read that for modesetting driver to be automatically activated for any hardware with "missing" "native" one, packages xorg-x11-driver-video, xf86-video-vesa and xf86-video-fbdev are also should be deleted because vesa and fbdev are both generic drivers and have higher priority than modesetting. But you don't need to do that.
