Does Fedora 29 use modesettting by default or does it use the xorg intel driver? As you can see I am slightly confused by everything I've read on xorg and how it handles Intel video. I know when I put an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11, X refused to start and I was left with a blank screen. I since discovered that disabling composting in the Mate window manager stops the xorg log spamming. I don't understand that connection.
