[Report] Switching to desktop mode doesn't work on Intel Arc GPU

[Drelek]

Your Issue:

Xorg defaults to the xf86-video-intel driver, which is too old and does not support Intel Arc gpus.
As a result, switching to desktop mode results in a black screen.

Did it work before?

Hasn't worked since I installed. Only tried this version of HoloISO.

Eventually I was able to fix this by switching to TTY2 (ctrl + alt + f2) and uninstalling the old driver with sudo pacman -R xf86-video-intel, thus forcing xorg to use the built-in modesetting driver. Aside from this issue, HoloISO has been working perfectly on my setup - I understand xf86-video-intel may be required for supporting older Intel iGPUs, but perhaps a future release could include xorg configuration to default the driver to modesetting for Intel Arc and newer Intel iGPUs?

@Drelek I guess, I can take a look at it
