openSUSE 11.0 + Intel Graphics

A very unfortunate update was pushed to openSUSE 11.0 update servers. As of a week ago today, new Intel packages were pushed which changed the default AccelMethod from XAA -> EXA. This has the unfortunate side effect of making text 10% as performant, and most compositing operations ~80-90% as performant. The reason for the change is obscure crashes on i965 with XAA and Intel opting to no longer support XAA. I personally think this never should have been pushed in an update, but should have moved to a point release, and as such I looked into the reasoning behind this change. (NOTE: I'm on i915 so the crashes have absolutely no bearing to me). It turns out the only problem with XAA+i915 is unsupported XV, but this can be worked around by a patch from the Ubuntu folks. I've side ported that patch and provided patched RPMS here. I've also fixed a crash in the default xorg server packages using EXA that could crash your moonlight or firefox.

If you decide to use my packages I strongly suggest adding the following lines to your xorg.conf to make your desktop usable again:
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

Furthermore, why in this day and age do we still not provide debuginfo's for update's? That would have saved me a considerable amount of time. I would really also apprecaite if anyone could tell me why openSUSE:11.0:Update doesn't actually contain any updates?

For the interested the bugs of note are: 411183 and 412211 and 400788
