I am far from an expert on the subject, but I am pretty sure we did not stop
using intel driver when we use kernel mode setting. We just ask for the
kernel to do the change of video mode, but the intel driver still does the
drawing on display.
Here on my i3-8100 computer, using as far as I know the graphics pipeline on
the CPU itself ( Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2) ) I have:
[paul@localhost ~]$ lsmod | grep i915
i915 2617344 18
i2c_algo_bit 16384 1 i915
cec 61440 1 i915
drm_kms_helper 245760 1 i915
drm 655360 7 drm_kms_helper,i915
video 53248 2 asus_wmi,i915
Yes, that's the kernel side part. But in userland,
we are NOT using xorg-x11-drv-intel for intel gen4 and up
(if I understand
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xorg-x11-server/blob/HEAD/f/06_use-int...
correctly). Gen4 was released in 2006:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_graphics_processing_units#Gen4
Additionally, Xorg is also non-default, we use Wayland since some
time.
(of course I may be terribly confused by all of this, it would be good
for someone familiar with out graphic stack to correct me).
