i now realized that now it is not loading  i915tex_dri   anymore by 
default, but 

(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so

instead....  so perhaps that is the difference. Before it was running the 
new textures version. I will try with 
  Option    "Legacy3D"     "false"
to see if i can force it to load and if it still has the same problem.

BTW: is setting  VideoRam  in the config file to some reasonable amount not 
recommended anymore? Before (with i810) i had 
   VideoRam       45000 (or similar numer)
then i had to increase it to 128M because or dri not being activated, and 
now i removed it completely but it seems to grab much more:
(==) intel(0): VideoRam: 262144 KB

However "free" tells me that i still have   906036  of the 1G physical.... 
how can it be? (integrated graphics)

Cheers, Ariel
