EDIT: I didn't have a chance to try out Anon-E-Moose's xorg conf, but ended up recompiling my drivers without glamor and switching to ye olde xf86-video-intel drivers. This seemed to resolve the problem.

I've been having some issues getting X to properly recognize my integrated intel graphics. It's Intel HD 530, which is 6th generation, so it should be using i965 drivers correct?

Code:
$ sudo lspci -k | grep -iA3 vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)
   Subsystem: Dell HD Graphics 530
   Kernel driver in use: i915


I've emerge x11-base/xorg-drivers with VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965" and glamor is in USE flags
I've set xorg.conf.d/20-modesetting.conf just like the wiki as well as xorg.conf.d/modesetting.conf
The only error in /var/log/Xorg.0.log is
Code:
(EE) modeset(0): Failed to initialize the DRI2 extension


The warnings are
Code:
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.2.log | grep -iA3 WW
   (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

I have a working X11 session, there doesn't appear to be any obvious tearing (I don't even have a compositor running, too), I've emerged media-libs/mesa to 18.1.6
I'm at a loss as to where to look next? The only thing I can think of is the kernel detecting and using the wrong intel driver? Should I recompile with it as a module instead? Why is it using 915 instead of 965?

kernel driver is i915 which covers i965 chipset.

mesa drivers will be intel and i965

X11 can be set to either i965 or modesetting.

Okay so I've got the right driver, so that eliminates that problem.
The real issue I've got is that I can't seem to get any 3d graphics going, glxinfo and glxgears both fail immediately. I originally made this thread in the wrong forum.

Code:
$ glxinfo
name of display: :0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig


Code:

$ glxgears
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual


If it's not the driver, and I presume the general modesetting Xorg configurations on the wiki should be enough, where would I want to start looking next?[/url]

This is from my laptop xorg.conf (intel 620)

Code:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "modesetting"
    Option         "Backingstore" "true"
    Option         "AccelMethod" "glamor"
    Option          "DRI" "3"
    Screen         0
EndSection
