Chris Wilson 7c7294ec00 shadow+dri2: Allow dri2 to be independently enabled with shadow
To enable DRI we create GEM buffers for the client to render into with
hardware acceleration. In order to maintain coherency between any 2D
render operations with the independent 3D clients (this includes the
reading of 2D rasterisation by the direct rendering client, e.g.
compiz using texture_from_pixmap) we need to replace the shadow pixmap
with the GTT mapping. Therefore 2D rendering to a DRI buffer will be to
uncached memory and thus penalised -- but the direct rendering clients
will have full hardware acceleration.

xf86-video-intel
Open-source X.org graphics driver for Intel graphics
http://www.intellinuxgraphics.com/

What is xf86-video-intel
------------------------
The xf86-video-intel module is an open-source 2D graphics driver for
the X Window System as implemented by X.org. It supports a variety of
Intel graphics chipsets including:

	i810/i810e/i810-dc100,i815,
	i830M,845G,852GM,855GM,865G,
	915G/GM,945G/GM/GME,946GZ
	G/GM/GME/Q965,
	G/Q33,G/Q35,G41,G/Q43,G/GM/Q45
	PineView-M (Atom N400 series)
	PineView-D (Atom D400/D500 series)

Where to get more information about the driver
----------------------------------------------
The primary source of information about this and other open-source
drivers for Intel graphics is:

Documentation specific to the xf86-video-intel driver including
possible configuration options for the xorg.conf file can be found in
the intel(4) manual page. After installing the driver this
documentation can be read with the following command:

	man intel
