In the context of the Acer C720/C710 (see the other thread) I have read in the block that one can run Xorg even without any xorg.conf configuration and it defaults fine to VESA (something which is required at the moment for the haswell chipset). On my Acer Aspire D250 I was curious and just removed (renamed) the xorg.conf and it works fine too, i.e. it does not use the Intel driver, but VESA. As well the mouse works as expected. More, I do not even note a difference between running the Xorg with Intel ./. VESA. Interesting. It just uses some default internal configuration, logged in /var/log/Xorg.0.log as: [ 32542.188] (==) Using default built-in configuration (30 lines) [ 32542.188] (==) --- Start of built-in configuration --- [ 32542.188] Section "Device" [ 32542.188] Identifier "Builtin Default intel Device 0" [ 32542.188] Driver "intel" [ 32542.188] EndSection [ 32542.188] Section "Screen" [ 32542.188] Identifier "Builtin Default intel Screen 0" [ 32542.189] Device "Builtin Default intel Device 0" [ 32542.189] EndSection [ 32542.189] Section "Device" [ 32542.189] Identifier "Builtin Default vesa Device 0" [ 32542.189] Driver "vesa" [ 32542.189] EndSection [ 32542.189] Section "Screen" [ 32542.189] Identifier "Builtin Default vesa Screen 0" [ 32542.189] Device "Builtin Default vesa Device 0" [ 32542.189] EndSection [ 32542.189] Section "Device" [ 32542.189] Identifier "Builtin Default fbdev Device 0" [ 32542.189] Driver "fbdev" [ 32542.189] EndSection [ 32542.189] Section "Screen" [ 32542.189] Identifier "Builtin Default fbdev Screen 0" [ 32542.189] Device "Builtin Default fbdev Device 0" [ 32542.189] EndSection [ 32542.189] Section "ServerLayout" [ 32542.189] Identifier "Builtin Default Layout" [ 32542.189] Screen "Builtin Default intel Screen 0" [ 32542.189] Screen "Builtin Default vesa Screen 0" [ 32542.190] Screen "Builtin Default fbdev Screen 0" [ 32542.190] EndSection [ 32542.190] (==) --- End of built-in configuration --- Re/ your Option: One could construct from the lines above the 'internal' config as a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and insert this special Option.
