How to switch Xorg to llvmpipe - eviltoast

Hello! I have a very old PC with intel i915 graphics, which doesn’t correctly display KDE and shows a lot of bugs. I know it is possible to switch to software acceleration in X server. On NVdia I can pass nouveau.noaccel=1 to kernel. So how can I disable hardware acceleration here? Maybe this is possible via Xorg config?

    Llvmpipe is enabled in mesa at compilation time and actually modifies the swrast_*.so the last time I checked. Not runtime configurable. Also, I know at one point it had issues running on 32 bit machines. Not sure if that’s still the case.
