[arch-general] Corruption with new intel driver

[Nicolas Bigaouette]

I switched to no xorg.conf file too not long ago. But needing to change one
value (here, the ExaOptimizeMigration option) will mean you will have to
create a "full" minimalist xorg.conf. Here's am example:

Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier     "Layout0"
   Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier     "Device0"
   Driver         "intel"
   Option         "ExaOptimizeMigration" "off"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier     "Screen0"
   Device         "Device0"
EndSection
