I don't have this exact problem. If I try to install the -modesetting driver, It tries to uninstall the xserver-xorg-driver-all package, as it depends on the i810 driver, and the i810-modesetting removes it. However, it doesn't remove the xorg package, so I can have the ubuntu-desktop with the i810-modesetting.
However, this is still a bug, as it shouldn't try to remove the xserver- xorg-video-all metapackage. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Emilio Pozuelo -- i810 modesetting driver can't be installed concurrently with ubuntu-desktop https://launchpad.net/bugs/80417 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
