It's newer technology than at least the GPU-specific drivers x11-driver-video-intel, x11-driver-video-nouveau and x11-driver-video-ati (aka radeon), so default for good reason. IMO it would be better in most cases to not install metapackage x11-driver-video. The only good reason I can think of to include all GPU-specific display drivers is that the modesetting does not support some ancient GPUs, 15 years old or older, e.g. Gen3 and older Intel (915, 945, [Q,G]3x, early Atom; [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_graphics_processing_units?useskin=vector#Gen3] Wikipedia). For most Intel GPUs, modesetting is clearly preferable to x11-driver-video-intel, and also for most NVidia GPUs not supported by the newer still nvidia-current-open-kernel-* and x11-driver-video-nvidia-*, to x11-driver-video-nouveau.  +  +[[User:Morgano|morgano]] ([[User talk:Morgano|talk]]) 16:19, 29 January 2026 (UTC) :  +  +Hi!  +  +This sounds like a subject suitable to discuss in a bug set to kernel & drivers maintainers.  +  +Best Regards  +  +/Morgan Mrmazda
