* debian/patches/165_fedora_xserver-1.5.0-xaa-option-inversion.patch:
- Turn XAA Offscreen Pixmaps off by default, and use
XaaOffscreenPixmaps "true" to turn them on. This setting was an
early pre-EXA HW optimization attempt that didn't pan out; upstream is
deprecating XAA in favor of EXA generally, and for situations where
XAA is still in use recommends NOT using this optimization hack, since
they found it often just made performance worse, and sometimes created
visualization bugs. People wishing to gain added performance should be
experimenting with EXA anyway, not this setting. (closes LP: #182038)
