Description
Legacy intel video drivers were removed from the mesa package and moved to mesa-amber.
"After Mesa 21.3, all non-Gallium DRI drivers were removed from the Mesa source-tree. These drivers are still being maintained to some degree, but only on the amber branch, and only for critical fixes.
These drivers include:
Radeon
r200
i915
i965
Nouveau (the DRI driver for NV04-NV20)"
