X-Server versions older than 1.16.3 have bugs in their
DRI3/Present implementation which impair nouveau, so
it is better to stick to good old DRI2 by default on
such servers. E.g., page flipping doesn't work at all
under DRI3/Present with older servers, and use of
extensions like OML_sync_control, SGI_video_sync or
INTEL_swap_events also causes failure of Present.
nouveau's glamor accel backend currently doesn't work under
DRI2, so continue to use DRI3 whenever it is supported.
Under the exa accel backend, DRI2 works just fine, so
disable DRI3 and choose DRI2 by default when nouveau
is built for X-Server < 1.16.3, and enable DRI3 if
building on later X-Servers which work reasonably well
under DRI3/Present.
A new boolean xorg.conf Option "DRI3" allows to enforce or
prevent use of DRI3/Present under EXA acceleration for
testing.
Also add a bit more output about status of Present and
DRI3 to aid debugging.
