Intel HD3000 Sandy Bridge - Wrong display driver used by X.org

[Tomáš Klos]

In Ubuntu 18.04, after upgrade from 17.10, when I login to Ubuntu desktop via X.org, a wrong display driver is used (llvmpipe). It will cause a horribly poor performance due to software acceleration.

WORKAROUND: When I switch to Wayland, the correct driver (intel) with enabled hardware acceleration is loaded.

Tomáš Klos, to clarify, in Ubuntu 18.04 if you use a Ubuntu (Wayland) session is the performance as you expected?

[Tomáš Klos (tkl)]

Yes, as I wrote, with Wayland the graphic performance is ok because of the correct driver.
