You're mixing up several different things. Modern graphics drivers are split into several parts: 1. Kernel driver (initialisation, display connector and mode setting (KMS, fb), memory management and command stream support (DRM)) 2. libdrm driver (userland command stream support) 3. X driver (accelerated X rendering) 4. Mesa driver (accelerated OpenGL rendering) In your case these parts are: 1. /lib/modules/<release>/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko 2. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdrm_intel.so.1.0.0 3. /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so 4. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so Not all of these components support the same range of GPUs, hence the different names.
