you do not need modesetting for "new intel processors" they works
with the intel ddx as well.
My understanding is that gen9 intel chipsets get modesetting, gen8 and
earlier still use xorg-x11-drv-intel. (For f24+)

Also XWayland only supports DRI3; and DRI3 on X is a requirement for
Vulkan. It also helps compositors like mutter to avoid tearing and
improves performance. So if there are issues with WebKit they should
be fixed. "It can't work lets go back to DRI2" isn't really an option
in the long run --
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 ?
