How to install/enable xf86-video-modesetting-0.4.0?

[Moon Dust Junky]

Hi,

I have an Intel Atom N2600 netbook with GMA 3600 graphics.

I read that I need the modesetting driver to get proper resolution of 1024x600.

(see article https://gist.github.com/2925633)

I am running Linux Mint Cinnamon 13.

I have compiled the source files using:

#aclocal
#autoconf
#libtoolize
#automake --add-missing
#./configure
#make
#make install

- but I don't know how to now enable the driver.

also, I didn't use the intall.sh script as I wasn't sure what argument
to give it.

Do I need to create and edit an xorg.conf file (don't seem to have one
currently)?

Thanks for any help.
