Sorry to hear that.

I had a patch ready since then, but since 6.5 was only in experimental I 
wanted to wait for feedback on the Qt GLX test before I implement that 
GLX hack properly. Uploaded now without any GLX changes ;-)

So I'll wait for someone still actively using such an old card with Qt 
apps to do these (and maybe some further) tests.
