EndSection

Hi

When I try to fix screen tearing by creating /etc/X11/xorg.d/20-intel.conf I’m stuck at Account Services at bootup.

Here’s the config file:

Section “Device”
Identifier “Intel Graphics”
Driver “intel”
Option “TearFree” “true”
EndSection

/ch

Are you using the intel driver or are you using the modesetting driver?

Aaaaah! Didn’t know modesetting was a thing. It’s fixed now! Thanks.

The intel driver hasn’t been updated in years so it is only really needed for very old Intel CPUs. For anything newer, modesetting is recommended.
