Ahh a nice simple answer in the end!
I probably should have been more persistant in asking this question
initially (I think I did mention it in an earlier mail, but also asked a
whole bunch of other stuff in a "get all the debug possible all at once"
fit of pseudo efficiency! Kinda backfired a bit!

</I>
Well, it's perhaps this scenario:
x11-driver-video was installed initially and it pulled in lots of
individual display drivers, including intel.
Due to an xorg update, one of the drivers that is required by
x11-driver-video had to be removed (due to no longer being supported)
which resulted in x11-driver-video also being removed, thus orphaning
all the drivers it initially pulled in, including the intel one.
It's quite easy to happen really, this is one of the many reasons I
never, use the --auto-orphans feature. I use urpmq --not-available to do
my tidy ups.
