Change default xorg.conf video driver

Debian 11 here with LXDE (Xorg + lightdm)

How could I change the driver used by X?

My X is using the default options, I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, so I generate one with the command sudo X -configure :1 and after that copying the contents of /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

After reboot I have a running X on :0 like before (ps auxww | grep Xorg returns ... /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg -s 0 :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch), but with a blank screen (no EE in /var/log/Xorg.0.log file). If I remove that /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and reboot I have a normal screen again.

The generated /root/xorg.conf.new is this (removed commented options, some FontPaths and SubSections Display's, for brevity)

Noticed that without an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file the output names returned by xrandr have a dash, like DP-1, DP-2 etc and with that file xrandr return those names without a dash: DP1, DP2...

The only change I want to do is replace:

Driver "radeon"

with

Driver "fbdev"
