I guess it's not particularly obvious that the focus of the _article_ is on 
Intel, while the _development_ focus is on all three of the mainstream gpu 
drivers.

I've been using the modesetting driver on all hardware that it supports in 
all distros that include server 1.17.0 or newer since before that article was 
written in July. Jessie's server is 1.16.4, but it does offer the 
pre-incorporation version as a separate xserver-xorg-video-modesetting .deb 
that seems to work just as well, as long as it's supported by the gfxchip.
