In addition, if you even have a resolution higher than 1024x768 configured in 16 bit depth while DRI is enabled in the config file, you will experience a nasty boom. This is a limitation of X's resource management mainly. DRI requires gobs of RAM, and even if you use 640x480 for DRI, if you've got 1280x1024 or something configured, you still get boom.
Hope this helps.
