Launching X-terminal-emulator immediately
kills X in Debian Lenny, kernel 2.6.26+17,
Xfce4, running on an IBM NetVista 6578-RAU.
The screen is left with a pattern reminiscent
of cloth from a malfunctioning loom. The
same system on a generic PC has no such
problem.
Nothing I found in lists or in bugs helped.
Any ideas?

A little more specifically,
netvista:~# lsmod | grep intel
...
intel_agp 22332 1
agpgart 28776 2 intel_agp
In another machine, an easy solution might be to add
a PCI video card. This machine has only 3 PCI sockets
and all are occupied.
And there's nothing in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old?

If the default depth in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is changed
from 24 to 16 direct rendering succeeds. Appears
that among all the applications here, xfce4-terminal
is the only one unable to live without DR.
Two minor problems remain.
=== /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old ===
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed

Specifying the location of drmDevice might save
X from searching for it and specifying absence of
AIGLX: 3D might also save a little time.
