That commit enabled tiling and pageflipping to work together; both the front and back buffers are tiled so pageflipping will work. Prior to that, only the back buffer was tiled. However, since the front buffer is tiled, software cannot access the front buffer directly; the hw needs to convert it to a linear buffer first. Unfortunately, there's not really a good fast way to support software fallbacks and tiling. Your best bet it to use a terminal or xterm configuration that uses a hw path (e.g., don't use bitmap fonts).
