Dear Maintainer,

'.. Also make sure that the outdated xserver-xorg-video-intel package is not installed. The "modesetting" xorg driver has superseded it and will be used in this configuration.'

I have Debian 12.5 (i.e. current as of June 2024) but I have the intel driver installed.  When I try to use apt to install the modesetting driver, I get a redirect to xserver-xorg-core and the result that everything is already up-to-date.

Has the modesetting driver been withdrawn and superseded by the original drivers?  Does the wiki need an update?

Regards,
Scott.
