Title:
  Add support for blacklisting some drivers from using unredirected
  fullscreen windows

Status in Compiz:
  Fix Released
Status in Compiz 0.9.8 series:
  Fix Released
Status in Compiz Core:

Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “compiz” source package in Precise:

Status in “compiz” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.

  IMPORTANT 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.
