I committed a bunch of fixes to the glint driver as well:
- odd resolutions ( like 1440x900, 1366x768 etc. ) work properly now,
  including acceleration.
- both Permedia 2 and 3 now have EXA support, for shiny new Xorg. Kinda
  crude, but working.

This didn't get a whole lot of testing, only pm3 on macppc and pm2 on
sparc64 so far, and there is no xrender acceleration although both
chips should in theory be able to support at least part of it ( and the
XAA driver didn't do that either )
