“此驱动程序已弃用，取而代之的是服务器内置模式设置驱动程序。” 这意味着我可以删除 xorg-intel 驱动程序吗？

Question

在升级我的系统包时，我注意到更改日志上有一个条目：

xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.99.917+git20160127-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream snapshot.
  * control: Document build-depends for dri3info and tests, benchmarks.
  * control: Update description to mention that this driver is
    deprecated in favor of -modesetting.
  * rules: Use upstream-unstable branch to build a snapshot tarball.
  * control: Add libxss-dev to build-depends for intel-virtual-output.

果然，描述确实是这样说的：

Description-en: X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver
 This package provides the driver for the Intel i8xx and i9xx family
 of chipsets, including i810, i815, i830, i845, i855, i865, i915, i945
 and i965 series chips.
 .
 This package also provides XvMC (XVideo Motion Compensation) drivers
 for i810/i815 and i9xx and newer chipsets.
 .
 This package is built from the X.org xf86-video-intel driver module.
 .
 This driver is deprecated in favor of the server builtin modesetting
 driver. <- here

这意味着如果安装了modesetting驱动程序，我可以删除xorg-intel驱动程序吗？如果不是，那又是什么意思呢？

Answer 1

我刚刚删除了 xserver-xorg-video-intel，然后重新启动。

我的 /var/log/Xorg.0.log 说：

[    17.662] (II) modeset(0): using drv /dev/dri/card0

我的 Xorg 驱动程序是模式集。

我的 3 屏幕设置运行良好。

模式设置驱动程序是内置的。所以无需安装额外的驱动程序。
