[Intel-gfx] xrandr scaling bug

[Alexander E. Patrakov]

Hello,

I tried playing with xrandr transforms on my 1280x1024 screen. 
Intention: simulate a lower-resolution screen, add black bars, keep 
aspect ratio. Result: first it worked, then gave X errors. Also with the 
non-identity transform, in GTK menus, when selecting a menu item, it is 
not fully painted in blue initially (looks like a tiling artifact), this 
corrects itself in half a second or so.

I am using Gentoo ~amd64, xorg-server-1.8.0, xf86-video-intel-2.11.0, 
mesa-7.8.1, linux-2.6.33-gentoo-r2 (contains upstream 2.6.33.3). Here is 
what I did:

aep at home ~ $ xrandr
