[arch-general] xf86-video-intel-legacy vs xf86-video-intel
Is it possible to make these packages not conflict each other? So that one could have both installed and alternate when needed? -- damjan

This is not possible, as they have file conflicts. I'm not interested in patching a whole driver up to give it a different name.
Perhaps if you feel up to the task, you can still set this up on your
local system via abs.

Not easily. You would have to modify the source to change the filenames so you don't have conflicting files between the two different packages as Jan said.
You could have both packages downloaded, and uninstall/reinstall when
needed.
