<pre>I think I eventually figured out what "the modesetting DDX" is. I think it's
probably the same thing as "the modesetting Xorg driver" (which if I understand
correctly does not perform any modesetting, because kernel drivers do that)
that is discussed in this email thread:
<a href="https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/AUPYPJMFJZMHPEKN24LBABZKIEOV4NU5/">https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/AUPYPJMFJZMHPEKN24LBABZKIEOV4NU5/</a>
I think that when I see many "modeset(0)" lines in Xorg.0.log, then the
modesetting DDX is in use, whereas when I see many "intel(0)" and also these
lines:
[ 76.406] (II) UnloadModule: "modesetting"
[ 76.406] (II) Unloading modesetting
then xf86-video-intel is in use.
However, I'm now running Fedora 25, and during a few weeks of opening, closing,
moving and resizing windows I haven't been able to trigger a GPU hang, neither
with the "modesetting" driver nor with the "intel" driver. It seems like the
bug may have been fixed, or the probability that a hang will occur may have
decreased.</pre>
