The intel display driver is the DDX. The modesetting
driver is a DIX.
DDX - device dependent X driver
DIX - device independent X driver
Dependent means only supports the device brand. Independent works with Intel,
AMD, NVidia and other devices. It's newer, different technology. Thus, bugs
in a DDX may be absent in a DIX, and vice versa.
I'm confused why the Xorg.0.log file does not show DDX since I did install
the RPM xf86-video-intel as you recommended:
rpm -qa | grep xf86-video-intel
xf86-video-intel-2.99.917.916_g31486f40-150500.3.6.1.x86_64
I am happy though that I am now able to login to TDE. Without
xf86-video-intel I could only use LXDE.
As you mention in your second e-mail, it could have to do with the RAM. I
may try to find RAM compatible for this laptop. It also looks like it only
has 3 GB installed instead of the 4 GB supported:
