Eric and I found some rather significant 915/945 X/3D interaction
problems yesterday that were leading to hardware lockups. He's hoping to
finish up some fixes for that today.

The core issue was that with DRI2, there isn't any hardware lock that
the X server holds between batch buffers, so the 2D drawing code needs
to be more careful about keeping setup code and the associated rendering
code in the same batch buffer.
