(In reply to Theron Tarigo from comment #42)

"Can someone explain to me why "modesetting" is "the future" and
xf86-video-intel is "legacy"?  My experience has been that either Modesetting
is fundamentally broken in design, or it really is just a bug for its entire
existence that it allows frame-tearing."

My understanding was the upstream Xorg development was moving to treating
modesetting as the default graphics driver, and the intel ddx will eventually
be deprecated.  i believe many linux distro's also have moved to make
modesetting the default as well.

having said that - i agree, modesetting in its current state does give
sub-optimal performance.  it makes sense to me that this assumption that
modesetting is really where the vendors are heading should be challenged.
