It would appear so.  At least *now*.

Previously, with this exact same hardware setup, X never complained AT ALL.
Ever.  (And I've been using this for several years, over multiple revs of
X, on both FreeBSD and Linux.)

So this is rather a step backwards.  I think that it is fair to call it
a regression.

(The best rule of programming is to expect the unexpected.)

And now for a bit of sick humor...
