Configuring Intel GPU does not boot

I want to disable Triplebuffering for my intel Xe gpu.

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Host: 20XWCTO1WW ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9
Kernel: 6.2.9-arch1-1
Uptime: 30 mins
Packages: 789 (pacman)
Shell: bash 5.1.16
Resolution: 1920x1200
WM: i3
Theme: Adwaita [GTK2]
Icons: Adwaita [GTK2]
Terminal: alacritty
CPU: 11th Gen Intel i5-1145G7 (8) @ 4.400GHz
GPU: Intel TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics]
Memory: 2332MiB / 15701MiB

I created a file called 20-intel.conf in the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d directory. This is the content:
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Graphics"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "TearFree" "false"
    Option "TripleBuffer" "false"
    Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false"
EndSection

If I now restart my system, it hangs at Bluetooth: hci0: Malformed MSFT vendor event: 0x02

If I disable the conf file, I still get this error message, however it continues to boot fine. Bluetooth works fine.

Re: Configuring Intel GPU does not boot

This driver does not properly support this hardware anymore. You could try

Section "OutputClass"
  Identifier "intel modesetting"
  Driver "modesetting"
  MatchDriver "i915"
  Option "PageFlip" "off"
EndSection

for the modesetting driver

If you really want to try the intel driver add

Option      "DRI"  "iris"

to your section

You might also want to use this option: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_ … 28VSYNC.29

Re: Configuring Intel GPU does not boot

What do you mean with

This driver does not properly support this hardware anymore

Is there another driver I should use?

lspci

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Lenovo Device 22d5
    Kernel driver in use: i915
    Kernel modules: i915

Edit: I understand now, the xorg conf is for the xf86-video-intel driver. That's why it wouldn't work, I am using a different driver
