Dear List, in the news yesterday is Fedora Rawhide switching to the generic modesetting driver in favor of intels DDX [1]. Modesetting is said to be more stable, while 2D performance compared to glamor is worse in few areas [2]. There was also no official intel-DDX release in 2 years, no stable one in 3 years. Ubuntu 16.10 and Debian Unstable (July 2016) also did the switch for Intel "Gen4" hardware and newer (anything past the i965GM era) [3]

As xserver 1.19 is still baking for tumbleweed - are there plans that we also make the switch when it lands?

Cheers, Thomas

Will the current driver be available? I have an Intel Atom Processor N450 based (GMA 3150) netbook that IIRC doesn't support modesetting + glamor fails because the graphics card doesn't have enough of something I don't remember right now. I don't remember either if it worked without glamor, but I think that if it did it was very slow. I know that my description of the problem is very imprecise, but the point is that modesetting is a no go on my netbook.
