[BLFS 7.4] Xorg Driver for Intel

Could you explain me that?

I'm assuming you talk about this: Xorg Intel Driver-2.21.15.

Which part needs explaining?

I talk about that part: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs.../x7driver.html

In particular this sentence:
"The Xorg Drivers page contains the instructions for building Xorg drivers that are necessary in order for Xorg Server to take the advantage of the hardware that it is running on. At least one input and one video driver is required for Xorg Server to start."

So I have to choose one driver of "Xorg input drivers" and one of "Xorg video drivers"?

Yes, you do.

I already pointed out the video driver based on your lspci output.

Unless you need specialized drivers install the general Evdev driver to cover the xorg input driver part.

A laptop might need the Synaptics driver (touchpad), a tablet might need the Wacom driver and a VMware VM might need the VMMouse driver. But all this is explained in the Xorg Drivers chapter....
