Hello!
This is my first post, so please excuse any small mistakes from my side.
I recently got a convertible notebook, and so far it has been working perfectly with Arch and the KDE Plasma desktop, but I have a problem.
When I rotate the screen to the left so I can use the device like a tablet, I get heavy screen tearing issues. They don't appear in the normal orientation. So, of course I went to the Wiki and searched for troubleshooting tips. Making the custom config file was easy, but X11 wouldn't start again due to not finding the proper driver (or more specifically, not finding the module "intel" or module "i915"). Now, the Arch wiki had a fix about that, but adding those modules to the initramfs or adding kernel parameters didn't work either. It's not that much of an issue, but I'm just wondering why all the fixes don't seem to work…
Any help is appreciated!
I'll also provide the output of my log file, in case anybody needs or wants it. This one is from trying to use the intel driver.

Alright, installed it and now it works. Thanks again for the quick reply. I swear, I'll pay a bit more attention next time >_>
Sorry for the stupid question, and have a nice evening/day/morning/whatever!
