make debian with xfce use intel graphics driver

make debian with xfce use intel graphics driver

Hi,
I have a "Intel N10 Integrated Graphics Controller", which I believe uses an i8* or i9* chipset. I run Xfce and have no Xorg.conf file, supposedly it should detect my driver at startup? I think it falls back on the vesa driver, and it seems horrbily slow. Is there a way to force it to use a specific driver? My /var/log/Xorg.0.log looks like this:


Code:

(II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810,
        i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 854, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G,
        E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, Pineview GM, Pineview G,
        965G, G35, 965Q, 946GZ, 965GM, 965GME/GLE, G33, Q35, Q33, GM45,
