I believe this driver now comes with xorg-server regardless, and so to
use xorg-server-1.19.5, you just have to remove the legacy split
modesetting drivers first.
xorg-server-1.19.5:
RDEPEND="${CDEPEND}
selinux? ( sec-policy/selinux-xserver )
!x11-drivers/xf86-video-modesetting
"
qlist xorg-server | grep -i modeset
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so
/usr/share/man/man4/modesetting.4.bz2
