I suppose that means you know then that hardware calls are not at all 
related to the bug then.

Who knows. No one else has made a reply to my post to try to see if this 
is specific to the hardware I am working with or whether it is higher up 
in Xorg and not in the drivers. I guess that bug's description makes it 
sufficiently different from mine and so it is probably driver specific 
as the problem I have is slightly different and I have different error 
messages.
