My Ubuntu 16.10 uses i915 driver. For some reasons I have troubles with it. So I want to force X to use VESA.
I tried:
blacklist i915
in/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
. Thensudo update-initramfs -u
. Doesn't work.GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash modprobe.blacklist=i915"
in/etc/default/grub
. Thenupdate-grub2
. Doesn't workAdded new file
20-foo.conf
in/usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
with content:Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "vesa" EndSection
Doesn't work.
Guys, how on the Earth one could make an OS that requires such an effort just to switch video driver? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

. Moving xorg.conf.d caused X to not work at all. – user1748526 Nov 15 '16 at 12:37
