LegoAddict: I have some bad news for you. My errors turned out to be
because of catastrophic hardware failure. Rebooting into Windows
confirmed this - my Windows desktop became corrupted almost instantly,
and it would flash on & off, turning down the graphics acceleration
until it became stable ( I wish X & drivers had done this ). In the end,
Windows refused to activate the 3D accelerator at all, and disabled
almost all 2D acceleration.

As for exactly what caused this, I'm not sure. Perhaps my hardware
overheated ( possible ). Perhaps it was the result of the very strange
display corruption I always got when switching from X <==> VT or back (
lockup, with dark colours that fade to light colours over time ). It
always looked kinda scary. I'm a little suspicious it was bad for the
hardware.

Anyway, I would check that you can still activate ( and use ) the 3D
accelerator in Windows before continuing. As people in the #DRI channel
told me, [mi] EQ overflowing & [mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator
event; dropping is a symptom of the hardware locking up. It can be
caused by multiple things, and unfortunately hardware failure is one of
them.
