** Description changed:

  Note: the blacklisting is only needed on precise. If/when included in
  quantal, it doesn't do anything practical since the blacklisting default
  only blacklists Mesa 8.0 drivers.
  
  [Impact]
  
  Some drivers can be broken when using unredirect fullscreen windows. For
  those drivers, there has to be a way to disable this feature.
  
- For Quantal: although currently for quantal there are no drivers that
- are to be blacklisted and theoretically this feature is not needed
- there. But we still think that this branch needs to be included as an
- SRU for quantal. The main reason is that without it, backporting fixes
- from trunk will become much more complicated, as most branches will have
- to be modified additionally. The feature itself is tested not to have
- any regression potential.

  [Test Case]
  
  No clear test case, one possibility is to:
  1. Start a system running on one of the blacklisted drivers (noveu, Intel).
     -> Make sure unredirect fullscreen windows is not running
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  Not working unredirect fullscreen windows on all drivers.
  
  Original description:
  
  Add support for blacklisting some drivers from using unredirected
  fullscreen windows.
  
  This is a prerequisite before we can resolve bug 1063690 on precise.
