all the intel drivers are free and are installed by default, the
915resolution hack is in universe and needs to be installed separately
in the client chroot if you *really* want to use the old driver, there
are no restricted drivers involved at all...

note that if you want to use 915resolution you need to force Xorg to use
the old i810 xserver through setting XSERVER=i810 since the
autodetection will likely use the "intel" xserver automatically (which
doesnt need the 915res. hack)
