The xsrc patches should still prefer intel over modesetting.
It was a good choice since GLAMOR doesn't work on base xsrc, so
modesetting is dramatically worse. I suspect it works better with pkgsrc
xorg.

I'm not sure. The Intel people said the modesetting driver might be the
way to go. If GLAMOR works you can remove the intel driver from the
build to get the same effect.
