Out of curiosity, I read the ArchWiki page for the Intel UHD graphics, because some time ago I had a problem with X.org that would freeze if used with the driver. Now I don’t understand the difference between the modesetting of the kernel and the driver xf86-video-intel
. Can someone explain it to me?
The modesetting driver is a generic driver.
xf86-video-intel
is the intel specific driver.
My understanding is that generally speaking, performance will be better with xf86-video-intel
but it is more common to encounter compatibility issues while the built-in modesetting driver pretty much always “just works”.
