My understanding is that gen9 intel chipsets get modesetting, gen8 and
earlier still use xorg-x11-drv-intel. (For f24+)

Oddly, I have a skylake laptop here (gen 9) and it does indeed use
modesetting driver, but I only get DRI2 (which is why I haven't seen
any DRI3 problems I guess).

Is DRI3 only default for xorg-x11-drv-intel ?
