Message:

Work around segfault in the Xorg intel driver with gcc-5 and a 4.0 kernel by reinstating UXA and adding a conf file to force that to be used. Tagged as gcc5-checked because it now works in this form, but with misgivings because it clearly does nt work _correctly_. This is a first-stage fix for #6526, but not a final fix.
