After commit d66e924680a3504aa1feb9c228145a95d1a16b1e the xserver has
working XVideo, but tiling stopped working on my i915. When tiling is
enabled, i only get a mouse cursor on an otherwise black screen. The
server seems to actually do its work, i just can't see anything of that.
When tiling is disabled, this problem goes away. As OpenGL is somewhat
broken at the moment, i can live without tiling for a while.
