Yes, we're just changing the default, if you drop a 99-local.conf file in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with the following contents:

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "intel"
    MatchDriver "i915"
    Driver "intel"
EndSection

Then you should get the intel driver used for any GPUs using the i915
kernel driver.

Hans
