Well, I started getting the identical error when I switched to a 2.6.0-test9 kernel from a 2.4.22 kernel. The apps that gave the error were glxgears and mutt (when I would view html in Konqueror ... some spam tastes hammy). Using # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and restarting the xserver fixed the problem. (I merely changed the default pixel depth from 24 to 16 to see the effect on glxgears. Switching back to a pixel depth of 24 did not cause the error to reappear.) FWIW, I use xserver-xfree86 4.3.0-0pre1v4 from experimental and the r128 driver for my cheapo ATI xpert 2k card.
