xserver-xorg-video-intel might actually be a problem. If installed, Xorg uses it 
if you don't explicitly override. It's no longer the driver of choice for most 
Intel gfxchips. If you're not using an antique Intel gfxchip, you probably 
prefer the modesetting driver that is integral to the server:
