I think that I am running the modesetting driver on an intel Xeon
E3-1200 v3 card. I couldn't find xorg.conf, but I did remove
x11-driver-video-intel and all appears to be working. Will keep testing it.
Regards,
Chris

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.
