Adam what do you think?
There is no longer a _source_ package for xorg-x11-drv-modesetting, but xorg-x11-server-Xorg Provides it for compatibility. Is the Requires causing an actual problem?
You are right. Will check again, it should be correct as I see Provides: xorg-x11-drv-modesetting = %{version}-%{release} in Xorg spec.
What would happen when xorg-x11-drv-modesetting is installed on the system with old rpms and you update the system. I guess rpm wont remove xorg-x11-drv-modesetting, one need to do it manually. Only on the system without xorg-x11-drv-modesetting and xorg-x11-drivers Xorg stack could be successfully updated. Shouldn't we document it to avoid possible bugs against this issue in future? Adam any thoughts?

No, it should remove the old modesetting package xorg-x11-server.spec also Obsoletes older versions of the driver: Obsoletes: xorg-x11-drv-modesetting < %{version}-%{release} Provides: xorg-x11-drv-modesetting = %{version}-%{release} Since %{version} is 1.17 and RHEL6.7 had xorg-x11-drv-modesetting-0.8.0-14.el6, this should work just fine.
Shouldn't we bother also with debuginfo (modesetting and glamor)? file /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so.debug from install of xorg-x11-server-debuginfo-1.17.4-9.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package xorg-x11-drv-modesetting-debuginfo-0.8.0-14.el6.x86_64 file /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so.debug from install of xorg-x11-server-debuginfo-1.17.4-9.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package xorg-x11-glamor-debuginfo-0.6.0-5.20140506gitf78901e.el6.x86_64 If we don't care I'm ready to close this bz.
No other obsoletes for devel packages, closing
