Well, add to /etc/portage/package.mask
">x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.1.1" and then emerge
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel. Of course you need to update (downgrade)
your xorg-server to 1.3.0.0-r6 (same operations:mask every version which
later than 1.3.0.0-r6 ">x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6") and don't
forget that you can't using evdev afaik with this xorg but
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard and x11-drivers/xf86-input-mice will
replace it. And configure your xorg.conf

For swithcing back just erase strings that you add to package.mask and
then reemerge packets. Don't forget that xorg-1.5* and 1.3* are
different. Read upgrade guide.
