This is intended, your non-ancient intel gpu will use the modesetting driver provided by xorg-server. The old xf86-video-intel driver is not needed.
(In reply to Ben Kohler from comment #1) > This is intended, your non-ancient intel gpu will use the modesetting driver > provided by xorg-server. The old xf86-video-intel driver is not needed. Sorry, but after removing xf86-video-intel driver my xorg doesn't start, no sddm, no kde, no startx, just console. I have Sandy Bridge CPU, and I have been using xf86-video-intel-driver since 2011 with this laptop and it's the video driver which works. Is this "modesetting" driver Intel's new driver name? Why change the name? I can't find such video driver "xf86-video-modesetting" in portage: bugi ~ # ls -l /usr/portage/x11-drivers/ yhteensä 128 -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 5047 2022-03-05 21:10 Manifest.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 936 2021-09-11 16:40 metadata.xml drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 4096 2022-03-06 14:15 nvidia-drivers drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-input-elographics drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2022-01-05 16:29 xf86-input-evdev drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2022-01-05 16:29 xf86-input-joystick drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2022-01-24 16:40 xf86-input-libinput drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-input-mtrack drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2022-01-05 16:29 xf86-input-synaptics drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-input-vmmouse drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2022-01-05 16:29 xf86-input-void drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-input-wacom drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2022-02-24 16:17 xf86-video-amdgpu drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-video-ast drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 4096 2022-02-08 15:41 xf86-video-ati drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2022-01-05 16:29 xf86-video-dummy drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2022-01-05 16:29 xf86-video-fbdev drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-video-geode drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-video-glint drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-12-02 19:32 xf86-video-intel drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-video-mga drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 4096 2021-12-01 17:29 xf86-video-nouveau drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-video-nv drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-video-omap drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-video-openchrome drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 4096 2022-01-19 16:22 xf86-video-qxl drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-video-r128 drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-video-siliconmotion drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-video-vboxvideo drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 4096 2021-09-11 18:25 xf86-video-vesa drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 4096 2022-01-05 16:29 xf86-video-vmware bugi ~ # bugi ~ # emerge -s modesetting [ Results for search key : modesetting ] Searching...

Ok, after some googling I found out what this "modesetting" driver is. I also solved why my xorg didn't work: My /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains following section (maybe from year 2011?): Section "Device" Identifier "IntelSandyBridgeGraphics" # Driver "intel" Option "monitor-LVDS1" "HP_ProBook_4730s_LCD" Option "monitor-HDMI1" "HP_ZR24W" EndSection I commented that "Driver" line out and my xorg started again. I hope this new driver will work as well as Intel driver has worked all these years... My problem is solved now, Thanks! =)
