Bug#1074497: wiki.debian.org: NVIDIA Optimus: Still necessary to avoid the intel Xorg driver?
Package: wiki.debian.org
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: larrikin@inbox.lv
Dear Maintainer,
'.. Also make sure that the outdated xserver-xorg-video-intel package is not installed. The "modesetting" xorg driver has superseded it and will be used in this configuration.'
I have Debian 12.5 (i.e. current as of June 2024) but I have the intel driver installed. When I try to use apt to install the modesetting driver, I get a redirect to xserver-xorg-core and the result that everything is already up-to-date.
Has the modesetting driver been withdrawn and superseded by the original drivers? Does the wiki need an update?
Regards,
Scott.
