Because of conflicts between xf86-video-intel and xf86-video-i810, as well as between xf86-video-via and xf86-video-unichrome, it is no longer possible to install all drivers using the group (pacman -S xorg-video-drivers).

As this is sometimes a useful abbreviation, I was wondering whether there would be any chance of making some reasonable compromise so that it works again, e.g. only including one of each pair in the group.
This task depends upon

I know, in the case of i810 and intel, intel is the preferred driver and i810 is deprecated.

I don't know about via and unichrome.

This will get fixed with the next xf86-video-intel/i810 releases, which will have the DRI drivers split out into an intel-dri package, just like we did with unichrome-dri.

Intel/i810 has been fixed, unichrome and via are still conflicting.
