Bug#954311: Not just rendering issues...

[Pascal Giard <evilynux@gmail.com>]

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it.

Apparently I missed the transition from intel_drv to modesetting_drv.

After switching to modesetting (instead of intel) and purging xserver-xorg-video-intel, the workaround in /etc/drirc is no longer needed.

Best regards,

-Pascal

The default, which is modesetting_drv.so from the xserver.
