Hello, I'm trying to change the default driver of the trisquel 11 from "intel" to "gl" and I'm not succeeding.

I created a file with: sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

and the i915 driver appears with the command lspci -k

What do you suggest?

Thanks!

Blacklist the i915 kernel module?

Edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf (or create it if it doesn't exist) with a text editor.
Add one line: blacklist i915
Save the file.
Run the following commands to update the system:

sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u

Restart.

Also, what hardware do you have? I wonder if there is a connection:
