Jim,
I note that one has default depth=24 and the other default depth=16.
On my laptop when I have the gnome properties for the
display="millions of colors" which I'm guessing is GUI-speak for 24
bit depth my i815 will not go into Direct Rendering Mode ("glxinfo"
shows "DRI=no") but when it's set to display="thousands of colors"
(16 bit depth) "glxinfo" shows that "DRI=yes". Since your
configurations are different default depths, is one going into DRI
and the other not and hence giving you different symptoms?
