People keep reporting problems with xf86-video-intel when it really should
not be used on any modern system. Intel dropped support for this driver
years ago. Unless you have a really old system with a device that predates
at least Sandy Bridge, the proper thing to do is to simply delete it. I'm
not sure why xorg still prioritizes it ahead of modesetting which is the
correct driver for any modern system using Intel graphics.

I would like to see some information that modesetting is the right driver
for any recent Intel graphics, but it seems obvious that the old Intel
driver is needed for Intel graphics, even though it is the wrong answer.
