jsg 646d14d2d3 Revert to Mesa 13.0.6 again.
Corruption has again been reported on Intel hardware running Xorg with
the modesetting driver (which uses OpenGL based acceleration instead of
SNA acceleration the intel driver defaults to).

Reported in various forms on Sandy Bridge (X220), Ivy Bridge (X230) and
Haswell (X240).  Confirmed to not occur with the intel driver but the
xserver was changed to default to the modesetting driver on >= gen4
hardware (except Ironlake).

One means of triggering this is to open a large pdf with xpdf on an
idle machine and highlight a section of the document.

There have been reports of gpu hangs on gen4 intel hardware
(T500 with GM45, X61 with 965GM) when starting Xorg as well.

<h1>Mesa 9.0 Release Notes / October 8, 2012</h1>
<p>
Mesa 9.0 is a new development release.
People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
with a previous release or wait for Mesa 9.0.1.
</p>
<p>
Mesa 9.0 implements the OpenGL 3.1 API, but the version reported by
glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 3.1. OpenGL
3.1 is <strong>only</strong> available if requested at context creation
because GL_ARB_compatibility is not supported.
</p>

<h2>New features</h2>
<p>
Note: some of the new features are only available with certain drivers.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Added new Gallium3D - nv30 driver</li>

<li>GL_ARB_base_instance</li>
<li>GL_ARB_blend_func_extended</li>
<li>GL_ARB_debug_output</li>
<li>GL_ARB_invalidate_subdata - Currently a "no-op" implementation. This
extension is always enabled in all drivers.</li>
<li>GL_ARB_shader_bit_encoding</li>
<li>GL_ARB_texture_buffer_object</li>
<li>GL_ARB_timer_query</li>
<li>GL_ARB_transform_feedback3</li>

<li>GLX_ARB_create_context_robustness</li>
<li>EGL_KHR_create_context</li>
<li>EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context - This replaces the
EGL_KHR_surfaceless_{gles1,gles2,opengl} extensions that were never approved
by Khronos.</li>
<li>EGL_EXT_create_context_robustness</li>
</ul>
<h2>Bug fixes</h2>

<br>
The two supported build methods are now autoconf/automake and SCons.
</li>
<li>Removed support for GL_ARB_shadow_ambient extension</li>
<li>Removed Gallium3D - nvfx driver (use nv30 instead)</li>
<li>
libGLU has been moved into its own repository, found at <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glu/</a>
