I am new to modern intel graphics.  I have a UHD 630 with a 9th
generation (coffee lake?) CPU.  It is using intel, and it works for
xterm :-) But I see artifacts while typing into github comment boxes.
Is this something I should try modesetting on?

Is there a wiki page that collects "this option works or doesn't work,
and is or isn't preferred" with various graphics, along with
instructions for choosing?  I know I could figure this out but it would
probably speed testing to have someone who already knows write it down
and post a link.
