Don't feel bad.  We're all vulnerable to this sort of thing.  If you look 
back into the list archives from last December you'll see me asking around 
about a symptom I was experiencing on a 29xxx device (B/W video).  I 
immediately assumed it was a driver bug.  Unlike your case, in my 
situation it took me 3 whole weeks of experimentation before I learned 
that perhaps I should try it out under Windows - whereupon I immediately 
reproduced the issue and shortly afterwards RMA'ed the device :-)
