The 3123 glx driver uses the X11R6 xaa. I never mentioned xaa in my XF86Config 
file (nor do I have any modules loaded that explicitly implies xaa), but:

(II) Loading sub module "xaa"
(II) LoadModule: "xaa"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libxaa.a
(II) Module xaa: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
        compiled for 4.2.1, module version = 1.0.0
        ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.5

It still loads it. AFAICR the newer 4191 didn't. I also went back to 3123. 
This behaviour is also mentioned in the forum.

I do hope the newer drivers in the 4x series get better though. 

Cheers,
Emiel
