[ANNOUNCE] xf86-video-ati 7.7.0

[Michel Dänzer]

I'm pleased to announce the 7.7.0 release of xf86-video-ati, the Xorg
driver for ATI/AMD Radeon GPUs supported by the radeon kernel driver.
This release supports xserver versions 1.9-1.18.

Highlights:

* Option "TearFree" can now prevent tearing with rotation/reflection as
  well (with Xorg >= 1.16).
* RandR CRTC transforms now work correctly (but for now still exhibit
  tearing even with TearFree).
* The RandR 1.4 provider name is now no longer hardcoded to "radeon"
  but constructed from the GPU chipset name and bus ID, allowing
  several GPUs supported by this driver to be distinguished by name.
* The RandR primary output is now always explicitly marked as such.
* The driver can now make use of more than 256MB of VRAM for scanout
  buffers, allowing e.g. virtual desktop sizes >= 8192x8192 to work.
* The driver can prevent clients trying to use the DRI3 extension over a
  display connection forwarded via SSH from hanging.
* Many more fixes for issues using the DRI3/Present extensions.

Plus many other small improvements and fixes. Thanks to everybody who
contributed to this release in any way!

      sync: Check if miSyncShmScreenInit symbol is resolved at runtime
      Remove pci_dev test from radeon_get_scrninfo
      drm_queue: Don't abort events immediately from radeon_drm_abort_client
      Remove radeon_scanout_flip_handler
      DRI2: Also clear dri2_flipping when client disconnects before event

      Consolidate pScreen usage in drmmode_set_mode_major
      Make Option "TearFree" effective for rotated/reflected outputs as well (v2)
      present: Clear drmmode->fb_id before calling set_mode_major for unflip
      present: Return rotated CRTCs from radeon_present_get_crtc
      Factor out HW cursor checking code into drmmode_can_use_hw_cursor
      Don't try DRI2/Present flipping while the HW cursor can't be used
      Check for xf86CursorResetCursor
      TearFree can only work with acceleration
      DRI3 only works with acceleration
      Use radeon_alloc_pixmap_bo for allocating scanout BOs
