Hi!

I see at etc/X11/xorg.conf.in this lines

Code: Select all

Section"Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver"@@XMODULE@@"
    BoardName"unknown"

I need to test Driver"modesetting", to compare xserver-xorg-video-modesetting vs. of xf86-video-intel

One option is just change the @@XMODULE@@ ocurences at .in file, the over option is change the variable.

How is set the XMODULE variable at xorg?

The"@@XMODULE@@" is a placeholder so some program can replace it with the name of a real module. I don't know what program that is. In antiX and MX we use the make-xorg-conf program to generate xorg.conf files. To create an xorg.conf that uses the modesetting drive I suggest you first do:

Code: Select all

make-xorg-conf --help
to get an idea of how the program works. Then run:

Code: Select all

make-xorg-conf modesetting
This should display on the screen the xorg.conf file it would make. If all looks good then backup your current xorg.conf (if any) and put the new one in place:
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original
sudo make-xorg-conf modesetting --output=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then restart X by logging out (to the SLiM login screen) and logging in again.
