I wouldn't say it that way.

I'd rather say that either glxinfo returns inappropriate information, or
that the driver isn't providing X with appropriate information. Tweaks
can of course been added to the warsow wrapper, but it really looks like
a bug in a lower level.

However, I really don't see what we can do w/o the output of glxinfo
(which I saw you requested on the original bugreport, thanks).
