FYI. I'm back at work today, at which point I'll have a similar machine
to one of the victims which should allow me to either reproduce & fix,
or if I can't, send a workaround in the form of disabling that
specific acceleration unless explicitely enabled from the command line.

So expect a patch later today.

Cheers,
Ben.
