           Summary: Ditching xf86-video-openchrome in favor of
                    xf86-video-modesetting?
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

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-openchrome in favor of xf86-video-modesetting?

This has also been requested for:

xf86-video-amdgpu:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94841

xf86-video-ati:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94842

xf86-video-intel:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94843

xf86-video-nouveau:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94844

And since then there has also been a lot of discussion and benchmarking around
this topic, see for example:
