    I hope I don’t need to install a display manager just to change a driver.

    I did some more search on mxlinux forum.

    Also, the recent “modesetting” driver in antiX-16-b3 works on my valley-view GPUs as well as the sky-lake. I think they dropped the requirement for >= 128 ALUs.

    We are using the older intel driver on the 32-bit version and the newer intel driver on the 64-bit version. This should be fine for most people.

    My CPU is 32 bit, and when I try to force modesetting, I get X log: 

    [    11.210] (WW) glamor requires at least 128 instructions (64 reported)
[    11.210] (EE) modeset(0): Failed to initialize glamor at ScreenInit() time.
