Some OpenCL and VA-API applications might also break
(Beignet seems to provide OpenCL support with
<literal>modesetting</literal> driver, too).
Kernel mode setting API does not support backlight control,
so <literal>xbacklight</literal> tool will not work;
backlight level can be controlled directly via <literal>/sys/</literal>
or with <literal>brightnessctl</literal>.
Users who need this functionality more than multi-output XRandR are advised
to add `intel` to `videoDrivers` and report an issue (or provide additional
details in an existing one)
