Comment # 7 on bug 1016402 from Torsten Brodbeck

Hello Stefan and Patrik,

many thanks for your answers.

No, I didn't try the modesetting driver till yet. Because the xf86-video-intel
driver using DRI3 seems to be stable enough for me. I used it by the
home:pontostroy:X11/Mesa repo. But this repo is Mesa 13.1-Dev branch an now
Mesa 13.0.x should be good enough for gaming. So I want to switch to a stable
Mesa release.

How can i try the modesetting driver?

If I configured 50-device.conf to
----------------------------
Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "modesetting"
   Option      "DRI"    "3"
EndSection
----------------------------
gives the following Xorg.0.log
