i915_tex driver locks X when starting compiz

[Daniel Kasak]

Hi all.

I've just finished some testing with today's git of mesa, xserver,
xf86-video-intel, libdrm, libpixman, libX11, xf86-input-keyboard,
xf86-input-mouse, and maybe a few others.

I tested both the i915_tex driver and the legacy driver, with both XAA
and EXA. The legacy driver works as before, though the fastest method is
still with XAA and XAANoOffscreenPixmaps set - I'm not sure of the
zero-copy-tfp stuff is in the older driver ... is it?

Anyway, I applied the mesa patch at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9264 to allow compiz to run
without complaining about 'no GLXFBConfig for default depth'. compiz
does now start without this error, however I get a video / X lockup
instantly afterwoods.

I tried with both XAA and EXA - a couple of times each. In both cases,
there is nothing in the kernel messages. I have attached Xorg logs for
both cases. Each time I tested, the screen went black and never
returned, but the cursor stayed visible and followed mouse movements. I
couldn't switch to another VT, but I could ssh in and reboot.
