Hi all,

I did a few tests with git head :

    i830: Provide new DRI texOffsetStart hook when available with EXA.

> 1) XVideo doesn't work anymore. mplayer -vo xv and gstreamer with the xv

Still broken, it's the only test that crashed my laptop. I understand
it's a work in progress.

Now works as intended.

Still segfaults.

Now only happens if I leave the "Virtual 2048 2048" line in xorg.conf

Fixed, works perfectly :)

Again, fixed, I tried a bunch of xrandr commands and none of them
crashed the display.

All in all, it's much better :) Thanks to all.
