[Bug 359392] Re: [i965] X freezes starting on April 3rd

[Jesse Barnes]

Ok so the bug I mentioned in 196 doesn't actually exist, so ignore that
request.

However Eric is now worried about the buffer reuse we're seeing in the
dumps.  If caching is at all wrong or we're not taking care to reset the
buffer contents correctly between reuse it could easily cause problems.

Buffer object reuse can be disabled in the 3D driver by setting the
bo_reuse DRI variable to 0 (it defaults to 1).  The 2D driver needs to
be patched to avoid re-use though:

diff --git a/src/i830_driver.c b/src/i830_driver.c
