The upstream driver is no longer named i810, it is now named intel. The driver package should be renamed to match. Assign to me if you want me to do it in rawhide.
I was just about to suggest the same... I wondered if there was no proper intel driver in Rawhide because I didn't find any -intel package.
Why is that a blocker exactly?
Renaming to xorg-x11-drv-intel is fine. Feel free to start the package renaming process and move this along. jkeating says we need a new package review, but beyond that I'm not sure what needs to be done. We'll need to add a virtual xorg-x11-drv-i810 Provides too, I guess.
