Workaround for Bug 623: Sporadic XCB assertion failures w/ ATI proprietary driver and w/o native X11 locking
The proprietary ATI X11 driver does not handle multi-threaded [GL] clients well, i.e. triggers an XCB assertion 'from time to time'. It almost seems like that the driver either: - aliases all display connections to it's connection name, i.e. server; or - utilizes a build-in display connection w/o locking, used for some reason +++ - X11Lib: Add QueryExtension(dpy, name) allowing early driver determination w/o GL - X11Util detects 'requiresGlobalToolkitLock' and 'markAllDisplaysUnclosable' via X11 extensions. In case certain ATI extensions are available, both are set to true. - X11GLXDrawableFactory: Dropped setting 'markAllDisplaysUnclosable', using X11Util's detection (see above). - New GlobalToolkitLock to satisfy certain driver restrictions (ATI's XCB multithreading bug) - NativeWindowFactory handles new property requiresGlobalToolkitLock, in which case the new GlobalToolkitLock is being used instead of ResourceToolkitLock. - JAWTUtil ToolkitLock locks GlobalToolkitLock 1st to match new 'requiresGlobalToolkitLock' property. - Document static method requirement of X11Util, GDIUtil and OSXUtil via marker interface ToolkitProperties - ToolkitLock: New method 'validateLocked()', allowing use to validate whether the device/toolkit is properly locked and hence to detect implementation bugs. See unit test class: ValidateLockListener
