X now defaults to using built-in modesetting video driver on Intel
|
|
hardware which is "4th gen GMA" and newer, so roughly speaking on hardware
|
|
from 2007 and up. If this triggers new bugs on your hw, please file them
|
|
against the xserver.
|
|
|
|
Continuing to use the -intel driver is possible by dropping the template
|
|
xorg.conf to /etc/X11:
|
|
|
|
# cp /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xorg.conf /etc/X11

The Xorg server is no longer setuid root by default. This change reduces the
|
|
risk of privilege escalation due to X server bugs, but has some side effects:
|
|
|
|
* it relies on logind and libpam-systemd
|
|
* it relies on a kernel video driver (so the userspace component doesn't
|
|
touch the hardware directly)
|
|
* it needs X to run on the virtual console (VT) it was started from
|
|
* it changes the location for storing the Xorg log from /var/log/ to
|
|
~/.local/share/xorg/
|
|
|
|
On systems where those are not available, the new xserver-xorg-legacy package
|
|
is needed to allow X to run with elevated privileges. See the
|
|
Xwrapper.config(5) manual page for configuration details.
