           Summary: Ditching xf86-video-nouveau in favor of

           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW

Hello,

according to the discussion in the following Phoronix forum thread:

https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoronix-articles/863332-intel-s-unreleased-3-0-x-org-driver-gets-more-fixes-for-dri3-present

the generic xf86-video-modesetting DDX driver included in xorg-server seems to
be better than most vendor specific xf86-video- drivers.

I am wondering:

Then why not ditch xf86-video-nouveau in favor of xf86-video-modesetting?

Regards
