It sounds like this may be related to a known issue with some of the 3D
drivers in XFree86.  Under some circumstances they can over-commit texture
memory.  When that happens, you get the 'hit bound texture' message.  The
work-around is to use lower texture detail.  The actual FIX is in a
development branch of the DRI source tree.  The fix is part of a larger
development effort that won't find its way into XFree until 4.4.0.
