[ubuntu-x] New X stack in xorg-edgers

[Brian Hobby]

Hi Bryce,

Just tried the xorg-edgers on a new intel i5 2500 with built in graphics 
on an ASUS P8H67 m pro motherboard, most things work fine on the desktop.

Torcs gives a copy of the desktop behind the window on start up and 
fails to run; the window moves the copy of the desktop around nicely 
though.
Trigger gives a black screen on startup as does Extreme Tux racer,
Super Tux Kart gives a black window and freezes the X session.

It's a fresh 64 bit Desktop install of Maverck with Proposed and 
Backports selected and up to date.

The above games are borderline unplayable at present and I'll wait for 
Natty rather than attempt to roll my own solution at this point.

Regards Brian
