I am using Debian 8.6 32 bit on Dell Inspiron 3558 with Gnome desktop.

When I log in using GNOME or GNOME Classic,

Output of lspci:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500 [8086:1616] (rev 09)
    Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:06b0]
    Kernel driver in use: i915

I need you to see different drivers are used at the same time.

Have a look at the OpenGL renderer string

I want to use Intel's drivers not VMWares's

VMWares' driver is not working for me. It doesn't give any visual effects. Plays videos slowly.

SOLUTION: Can't get Intel HD 5500 graphics to work with Debian
