This fixes

#2281 xf86-video-glamo/0f03b39435910: odd graphical artifacts

but does not fix

I talked with Lars and it seems that the 703a version has bug #2258
too but does not trigger it very easily. The new version triggers it
every time with new kernel:

lars_.05-10.log:08:23 <lars_> i just updated to the newest kernel and i get a wsod every time i quit X

As stated above, no version has the real fix for that. Older versions
just don't hit it every time.

That is not fixed yet either.

Hmm, I wrote your email before this version existed so I have not done
extensive testing on it yet. Please don't pacckage it without asking
Lars first if he thinks it'd be a stable version. (My understanding is
that we have no real fix for the issue yet...)
