I really don`t understand this. X have spec and all must use it. X don`t
must use spec of intel. If X change spec then all must change drivers.
Open
source driver work fine.
that has nothign to do with spec and how to use uninitialised memory.
Hm. Is it undoc hack in X? Could i see this diff in code? I want use it in
other distrs linux.
