And so it came to pass that a critical bug was uncovered in UXA. The
kernel does not like to pageflip when the pipe is off, yet due to the
delayed nature of a pageflip and the relaxed checking performed by UXA,
we could request a pageflip after turning off the display (DPMS). The
kernel rejected that pageflip and the error handling path failed to
restore sanity, and when the screen came back it was stuck on the image
seen before it went to sleep. (Note that there are also some related
kernel bugs, but this update should prevent the most conspicious of the
freezes.) Many thanks to Timo Aaltonen for his efforts in tracking down
the issue.

In other news:

  * Prepare for xorg-1.4, the api is being tweaked again.

  * Handle early FreeScreen in UXA.

  * Reenable XvMC support

  * Do not replace the GPU bo when uploading into the shadow/CPU copy

  * Fix use of an uninitialised GC when drawing glyphs to a depth=1 pixmap
