You're not using KMS are you...

UMS mode disables a ton of features in the driver; you've hit a couple
that weren't getting skipped in all cases.

Here's some patches that make sure two of the disabled features are
correctly bypassed. If these work for you, I'll create a couple of
patches, one per bug. Afterwards, you should really consider switching
to KMS...

(meanwhile, thanks for finding bugs in ancient code!)
