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>Supported Systems and Drivers</h1>
<p>
Mesa is primarily developed and used on Linux systems.
But there's also support for Windows, other flavors of Unix and other
systems such as Haiku.
We're actively developing and maintaining several hardware and
software drivers.
</p>
<p>
The primary API is OpenGL but there's also support for OpenGL ES 1, ES2
and ES 3, OpenVG, OpenCL, VDPAU, XvMC and the EGL interface.
</p>
<p>
Hardware drivers include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Intel i965, i945, i915.
See <a href="https://01.org/linuxgraphics">Intel's website</a></li>
<li>AMD Radeon series.
See <a href="http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature">RadeonFeature</a></li>
<li>NVIDIA GPUs.
See <a href="http://nouveau.freedesktop.org">Nouveau Wiki</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.x.org/wiki/vmware">VMware virtual GPU</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
Software drivers include:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="llvmpipe.html">llvmpipe</a> - uses LLVM for x86 JIT code
generation and is multi-threaded
<li>softpipe - a reference Gallium driver
<li>swrast - the legacy/original Mesa software rasterizer
</ul>
<p>
Additional driver information:

drivers</a> for the X Window System
<li><a href="xlibdriver.html">Xlib / swrast driver</a> for the X Window System
and Unix-like operating systems

<h1>
Deprecated Systems and Drivers
</h1>
<p>
In the past there were other drivers for older GPUs and operating
systems.
These have been removed from the Mesa source tree and distribution.
If anyone's interested though, the code can be found in the git repo.
The list includes:
</p>
<ul>
<li>3dfx/glide
<li>Matrox
<li>ATI R128
<li>Savage
<li>VIA Unichrome
<li>SIS
<li>3Dlabs gamma
<li>DOS
<li>fbdev
<li>DEC/VMS
</ul>
