Xorg log with errors

My hardware is Intel Desktop Board D2500HN with Intel GMA3600 VGA.

bash-4.4# uname -a
Linux 4.17.12 #1 SMP Fri Aug 3 13:11:29 EEST 2018 x86_64 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D2500   @ 1.86GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

bash-4.4# lsmod | grep gma500
gma500_gfx            208896  2
i2c_algo_bit           16384  1 gma500_gfx
drm_kms_helper        192512  1 gma500_gfx
video                  45056  1 gma500_gfx
drm                   446464  4 drm_kms_helper,gma500_gfx
i2c_core               73728  6 drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,gma500_gfx,
                                i2c_i801,i2c_dev,drm


My setting at /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf is:
Section "Device"
   Identifier	"gma500_gfx"
   Driver	"gma500_gfx"
   Option	"AccelMethod"	"glamoregl"
   Option	"TearFree"	"true"
EndSection

An error occurs that such a module does not exist in the attached log.
If the driver is replaced with "modesetting" everything works seamlessly.

lsmod lists kernel modules.  Xorg drivers are userspace modules which may have different names, as you've seen here.
Comment 2 Kiril Todorov 2018-08-05 07:18:40 UTC 
Now I understand, thanks! There are two userspace drivers that work with my video card. These are "fbdev" and "modesetting".
