x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.* with VIDEO_CARDS="i810" does enforce >x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.3.1. The problem is that the 2.4.* line of i810 drivers does have some problems on a few cards (flash movies do freeze for example) which made me mask >x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.3.1. I have merged the newer drivers and xorg-server-1.5.0 just to merge the working drivers afterwards but that is kind of a pain. xorg-server-1.5.0 does work flawlessly with x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.3.1 so it shouldn't enforce newer versions that might not work properly.

Since xorg-server 1.5.1 or .2, any driver older than 2.4.x will no longer build, as they all use some private headers from xorg-server that was wrongly leaked. If you have any issues with the latest ~arch driver, please open a bug for that to get the issue fixed instead. Thanks
