Hey I have an Acer Travelmate B113-E-2846 with Celeron 1007U 64 bit architecture cpu and Intel HD Graphics Which is the correct Intel driver to install? Seems I have choices including libva-intel-driver-1.6.1 (VAAPI intel driver), xf86-video-intel-2.21.15_9, i think there's another just called intel-sis The handbook just says the name of the driver is 'intel' Yea right I know there's a driver for me amid all this confusion, which is it? thanks
 
It is the one just named intel. The port is x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel. I don't know what the VAAPI driver is for, but the intel-sis drivers are for the poorly-supported and fairly old Intel chips with built-in SIS video.

If you installed the Xorg metaport or package, the correct driver is already installed.

What are you trying to do? The Xorg log you posted looks ok to me. Are you still having trouble with something?
