Hello. I have intel 915 graphics, but it appeared I have this installed
extra/xf86-input-evdev
extra/xf86-video-fbdev
extra/xf86-video-intel
extra/xf86-video-vesa
My question is Does my system need these packages installed or I could easily remove all except extra/xf86-video-intel ?

You'll want evdev for mouse and keyboard. fbdev is for framebuffer which you might want. And vesa is the fallback driver which may be useful if the intel driver breaks.

you need xf86-input-evdev and xf86-video-intel, the rest you can remove.

I'm no expert, but...
xf86-input-evdev is a requirement of xorg-server. So you want to keep it.
xf86-video-vesa is part of the group xorg and xorg-video-drivers. If you ran 'pacman -S xorg' or 'pacman -S xorg-video-drivers' you installed it. So that one is probably safe to remove.
xf86-video-fbdev is part of the group xorg-video-drivers. See above reasoning.
xf86-video-intel is required for intel cards AFAIK. So you should keep that one.
