[PATCH] candidate patches for server-1.5-branch inclusion

[Rémi Cardona]

Hi all,

Here's a branch with all the patches that we currently plan on shipping
in Gentoo.

http://www.lri.fr/~cardona/git/xserver.git (server-1.5-branch)

The first 37 patches are backports from git master, basically all the
patches that touched exa/ since the branching for 1.5. Only a few got
thrown out :
 - those that only touched shmPutImage() and friends
 - the patch that modifies the devPrivates

With this branch, "git diff --stat server-1.5-branch..master exa/"
reports only 4 insertions and 2 deletions.

It also includes a backport of a build fix, and another patch that fixes
a build issue with KDrive's Xvesa with newer kernels. If accepted, this
one should be applied to master as well.

This branch builds and runs successfully (so far at least) and our test
users can confirm all the improvements brought by the glyphs cache.

Thanks for considering it.

Cheers
