Jon,

Seems you know a lot about specific graphics hardware problems and thank 
you for the advice.  Will forcing the card into PCI mode automatically 
enable DRI or do I have to do additionally what Alex suggested:

"(In the "Module" section)
     Load "dri"

(...and at the end of the file...)
Section "dri"
    Mode 0666
EndSection "

Also, without using software cursors, my card seems to throw up a square 
block of static instead of a mouse pointer to do I need to also add:

option "HWcursor"   "false"

???
