According to upstream README:

  <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-modesetting/tree/README>

  The idea is to piggy-back the X driver on top of the DRM and Gallium3D
  drivers (DRM for modesetting and Gallium3D for Exa acceleration)

Does this mean that I could (hypothetically) replace the -intel driver
with -modesetting?  This is what I understand from the long description
and from the README.  Thus, I would be a bit more verbose in the long
description, to be clear when this driver is useful.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
