Snapshot 2.99.903 (2013-09-28)
==============================
Lots more stabilization work, not yet peaceful enough to christen 3.0. We
have everything ranging from build fixes for systems like Suse Linux
Enterprise Desktop that like to backport hardware enablement to ancient
packages, to fixes for hardware enabling, and some more performance tuning.

 * Fix VSync on Haswell.
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69119

 * Disable Y-tiling on gen4 - it too frequently leads to instability.
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1222203

 * Disable same EDID detection based on property id - the kernel likes
   to reuse ids leading to a failure to detect the right modes on a monitor
   change.

 * Avoid issuing multiple DPMS requests to the same encoder (alised to
   multiple connectors) to avoid upsetting Haswell and leaving the
   screens blank.

 * Honour the user preferrence for the initial mode, even if they are
   being silly
   https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841696

 * Clear the clear hint when apply DRI updates - to prevent some
   screenshots from GL windows being left blank.
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69730

 * Prevent a NULL dereference from trying to undo an non-existent buffer
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1228677

 * Handle out-of-memory conditions far more gracefully. If the system is
   hard against the memory wall, then the kernel will start issuing
   SIGBUS even for CPU mmaps. Untrapped these will cause X to die.
