I have seen the very same issue on my laptop and figured it to being a 
misconfiguration of the Xorg.conf file. In my case, I have a ATI 
mobility card on my laptop. I had installed the ATI drivers and also had 
the module DRI enabled in my xorg.conf file (search for Section Module). 
I checked the log files and noticed that the ATI module was loading its 
own version of DRI and that the additional entry in the xorg.conf file 
was causing this problem

Since your graphics card is different, I would suggest looking at the 
X11 log files and checking for errors. Hope that info helps you out.

later,
Rogue
