Snapshot 2.99.911 (2014-03-19)
==============================
Hans de Geode has been working on making the Xserver work without
privileges under the supervision of systemd/logind. This necessitated a
few new features for us: server fds (where we are passed which fd to use
to talk to our device by the Xserver who may in turn receive it from
logind or other host) and a small backlight helper so that we can continue
to provide a RandR backlight property when running without root privileges.

 * Flush when changing blend modes on Ironlake, or else single glyphs
   are sometimes rendered incorrectly
   Regression from 2.20.15
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74882

 * Fix pixmap offsets for pixman fallbacks onto Composite redirected
   windows
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73811

 * Fix blending onto 8-bit destinations, typically used for generating
   masks in complex Render operations, on gen2
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75818

 * Handle failure to create DRI bo more carefully. For example on gen3,
   the DDX supports pixmaps that are much, much larger than OpenGL can
   use and do not support the tiling modes that we request for OpenGL.
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1289049

 * Fix a bookkeeping bug with proxy buffers that are marked active but
   not actually inserted into a request (so they end up permanently
   active and confuse everybody).
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1289923

 * Actually turn off displays with DPMS off for UXA.
   Regression from 2.99.903, but requires

   kernel commit c9976dcf55c8aaa7037427b239f15e5acfc01a3a
   Author: Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>

       drm/i915: Only apply DPMS to the encoder if enabled

   instead for correct behaviour on Haswell.
