Hi,

due to last issues with freezing plasma and various "black" screen experience 
i call for obsoleting x11-driver-video-{intel,nouveau} to use built-in Xorg 
modesetting driver.

How to use it ?
 - Make sure you are not using proprietary drivers for nVidia
 - Delete (or rename to something different) /etc/X11/xorg.conf
 -  Make sure you have no "driver" snippets in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
 - remove Xorg intel or nvidia drivers by running as root: rpm -e --nodeps 
x11-driver-video-Z        where Z is one of intel or nvidia

 - restart your X
 - play some fullscreen 3D games
 - use Plasma with OpenGL features

What are benefits of using modesetting ?
 - no custom drivers with barely maintained code
 - use GLAMOR for 2D acceleration based on OpenGL Mesa stack (https://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server#GLAMOR)
 - well maintained driver
 - potentially no black screens and strange freezes

Feedback really appreciated.
