            As a Radeon owner, why would I run modesetting driver instead of radeonsi?
            It seems Michael sometimes runs this driver in tests but I've never understood why.

                It's modesetting instead of xf86-video-amdgpu. But yeah. I guess xf86-video-amdgpu is too boring and you need some bugs of modesetting DDX to spice things up.

                  i have a freesync monitor but i have freesync disabled in it because freesync doesn't work on wayland at the moment (at least on gnome) but i wonder if it works inside xwayland.

                  isn't the modesetting driver what's used with wayland? as far as i'm aware, there isn't a "amd wayland" driver like there is for userspace with xorg.
