And I was wrong.  I was able to browse the world, as long as I only
typed in the places I wanted to visit.  Hit three or four different
cities without any problems, but just a second or two after I started
moving the globe with my mouse, it locked up.

And, I'm happy to report, disabling silken mouse gets it working again.

I'll see if I can wrangle git into giving me a version of the drivers
right before the vbo merge and right after it, though I may not get
those results till tomorrow.
