new features

xf86-video-intel 2.11.0:
* Support for new DRI2 APIs, allowing page flipping to occur for swaps that are full-screen and not rotated.
mesa 7.8:
* i965 driver adds support for the following extensions: GL_EXT_draw_buffers2, GL_ARB_fragment_coord_conventions, GL_APPLE_object_purgeable.
* i915 driver adds support for the following extension: GL_APPLE_object_purgeable.
* Much improved support for EGL in Mesa.
kernel 2.6.33:
* Page flipping (reduces memory bandwidth consumption for full screen apps).
* Improved tiled rendering support (execbuf2 interface which allows for finer grained fence register management, increasing performance).
* Improved support for Intel® HD Graphics (in Intel® 2010 Core i7/i5/i3 Processor Series).
