    Execute this
    Code:
    su -
lspci | grep -i vga
grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    You have configured X Server correctly.

    Open VLC Player, Go to Preferences -- Video -- highlight Output Modules.
    Check Advanced Options at the bottom and select X11 video output from the drop-down list.

    Restart VLC Player.

    Hi and Welcome !

    Try Driver "vesa" instead of "intel" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
