Dear Maintainer,
'.. Also make sure that the outdated xserver-xorg-video-intel package is not
installed. The "modesetting" xorg driver has superseded it and will be used in
this configuration.'
I have Debian 12.5 (i.e. current as of June 2024) but I have the intel driver
installed. When I try to use apt to install the modesetting driver, I get a
redirect to xserver-xorg-core and the result that everything is already
up-to-date.
Has the modesetting driver been withdrawn and superseded by the original
drivers? Does the wiki need an update?
Regards,
Scott.

Debian tickets are not the right means to discuss wiki articles. Therefore
I am closing this ticket.
Instead you can use f.ex. Debian's IRC [1] channel to do that or you can
use one of the Debian Users mailing lists [2].
If you want to fix an article or discuss variants of ways of how to do
things, then you can make yourself a wiki account and discuss the issue
directly in the article. Even better, you can check the history of the
article and you can try to ask the people that wrote the passages that you
want to discuss directly.
Also note that people can watch articles and if they do then they will
get notified of your edits and if the watchers think there's a problem
with the edits they still can correct them.
Greetings and thanks for contributing!
