This reverts commit 1336989ec60fff7bd590fefd28945a0e5dc536e3.
The commit breaks
a) Front buffer rendering on X servers 1.7.
b) The possibility to add conditional front buffer requests on older
X servers.
Since the commit uses a new feature of the DRI protocol, the code must
be conditioned on a version bump on the server side. (For example a server
side protocol bump to 1.2, and a corresponding client check).
Unfortunately, that didn't happen though... So I don't think this can go
in as is.
I strongly think we should revert now, and condition this code on a
version bump. If it hasn't happened yet, we should bump now and accept
any breakage that happens in-between. We can't just start using new
features on other software packages without proper version checking,
breaking anything that doesn't have that feature.
