x/xorg-server-1.20.0-x86_64-3.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Applied some patches that other distributions have been using for a while:
  Fix glamor so that the return value from glamor_fds_from_pixmap matches
  what's expected (thanks to Darth Vader for pointing out these patches).
  Autobind secondary GPUs to the master as output sink / offload source. This
  seems like a beneficial patch until/unless DEs start to handle this.
  For nvidia cards, if they are GeForce 8 or newer use the modesetting driver
  by default. Seems to be recommmended by upstream where they indicate that
  fixes going into nouveau are primarily to target older cards for legacy
  support and that the modesetting ddx is preferable for newer ones:

x/xorg-server-xephyr-1.20.0-x86_64-3.txz:  Rebuilt.
x/xorg-server-xnest-1.20.0-x86_64-3.txz:  Rebuilt.
x/xorg-server-xvfb-1.20.0-x86_64-3.txz:  Rebuilt.
isolinux/initrd.img:  Rebuilt.
  Use ter-v14v.psf.gz as the consolefont. It supports more character sets, and
  the larger font was causing wraparound on UEFI (at least on bare metal here).
kernels/*:  Upgraded.
usb-and-pxe-installers/usbboot.img:  Rebuilt.
