This is more of a technical support issue that should be discussed on the Mesa and/or DRI development mailing lists than a bug. Once you have discussed the problem on Mesa/DRI development mailing lists, if the developers consider it a bug, please file a bug report in the "xorg" bug tracker or Mesa bug trackers appropriately. When you've filed your bug report in the upstream bug tracker, paste the URL here and we will track the issue. I believe you will find however that this is a configuration issue rather than a bug.
Setting status to "NEEDINFO" pending status update of dri/mesa mailing list discussion, and upstream bug report URL if determined to be a legitimate bug by upstream developers.
I've since found out that this problem exists in drivers for 'other' operating systems, so I no longer believe it is worth pursuing. Please set bug status appropriately.
