I was a bit startled thos morning when emerge --depclean wanted to
remove xf86-video-intel. I presume this is a result of the switch to
the "built in" modesetting driver? And there are no corresponding Xorg
config changes that need to be made?
My video chipset is
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation IvyBridge GT2
[HD Graphics 4000] (rev 09)
And the only card-selection configuration I've done was to set VIDEO_CARDS="intel" in make.conf.

I bit the bullet, let it depclean and rebooted.

I'll give that a go the next time I'm in the office (which is where
the machine in question lives). I've got to remember to drag a loptop
along with me so that if X doesn't come up I can still Google for
help. From what I've seen on both Gentoo and Arch wiki's I believe it
should "just work". But I know that having no other web access besides
my phone will make it fail...
If X doesn't come up, simply re-emerge xf86-video-intel. That won't take
long because you will obviously have quickpkg'd it before depcleaning...
