DEVICE SECTION
...
Device sections have the following format:

    Section "Device"
        Identifier "name"
        Driver     "driver"
        entries
        ...
    EndSection

The *Identifier* *and* *Driver* entries are *required* in all Device sections.
All other entries are optional.

e.g.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-modesetting.conf
Section "Device"
    Identifier "video0"
    Driver     "modesetting"
EndSection
