It's not likely that files were simply renamed for no reason.  So I'm 
thinking yes, there is a difference.  And this is exactly the kind of 
difference we were looking for.  So let's dig a little deeper.

So try this:  Boot each kernel and each time save the output of lsmod 
(e.g.: "lsmod > lsmod.kernel.1") and make separate copies of the file, 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and then then look for differences in those two pairs 
of files.
