Use xf86-video-intel driver on older Optimus systems #3

Closed ikeydoherty closed 6 years ago

ikeydoherty commented 7 years ago

For HSW and older the modesetting driver is not going to load.

While in theory we could say "HSW or older", really we should more likely focus on "SKL or newer, use modesetting".

We'll need to add some code to determine the iGPU generation and use the appropriate module.

(While BDW etc work with modesetting the xf86-video-intel driver works better)
