Bug detailed description:
-------------------------
Running Doom3-linux-1.1.1286 and Openarena-0.8.1, I can hear the background audio, but screen keep black.
When connected a external display, I can see the game show out in the external
display, but LVDS keep black. 
It has such problem both with UXA and EXA. Maybe it relates to Xlib.(As following information shows)

[root@x-945gm opt]# ut2004
WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /opt/X11R7/lib/dri/i915_dri.so
libGL error:
Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory.
libGL error:
Can't open configuration file /root/.drirc: No such file or directory.
Xlib:  extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".

Reproduce Steps:
------------------------
1. xinit&
2. run the cases. (ut2004 or openarena )

It should be caused by commit 3743747dbcf538ddd6db882bde7243656d0c5596. You can see details in attachment.  Sorry for my carelessness!

this patch will resolve the problem.

After testing ,this patch can resolve the problem by avoiding to modify bit 24 and 25, but it is strang why bit 24 and 25 of VGA will disturb LVDS. 
So In order not to generate other regressions I will manage to find the exact information before I commit the patch.

Thanks
