New issue by user318 on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/28864

Description:
Hello,

Modern xorg works with Intel video cards normally with buil-in "modesetting" driver. So xf86-video-intel is not required, and even more - after updating the kernel (most probably) from 5.9 to 5.10.17 I noticed problems with graphics like glitches in some parts of the screen.
When I started googling if someone had also experienced the same problem, that is how I knew that xf86-video-intel was the source of the problem [1]. Removing the module file (intel_drv.so) helped and my graphics is working well under 5.10.17 now.
But the proble is I actually can not remove the "xf86-video-intel" package, because it is listed in dependencies for "xorg-video-drivers", which is itself listed in dependencies for "xorg" package. So I think it is reasonable to remove "xf86-video-intel" from the depenencies of "xorg-video-drivers".
Maybe "xf86-video-intel" is actually helpful for something and not that bad, but it can cause problems and is a hard dependency to "xorg". I think something have to be done with that.
