Yes, we're just changing the default, if you drop a 99-local.conf file in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with the following contents:
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "intel"
MatchDriver "i915"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
Then you should get the intel driver used for any GPUs using the i915
kernel driver.
How does one do the opposite (i.e. switch to the modesetting driver) on,
say, Fedora 25 running on Haswell? I'd like to test if that works around
a particularly annoying system freeze bug
