Since 22 Oct 2008, Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream naming:
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel. The ebuild xf86-video-i810 no longer exists.

=x11-proto/randproto-1.2
I hope it won't break my system :-)
I'll let you know the result.
Thanks a lot,

And, after I've switched, how will I switch back to the latest one?
