Thanks for your suggestions and offers to help, Jacob and Jerome.

Since my last post I've installed a new kernel (stock debian 2.6.18-2) and ran 
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. Now glxinfo says I have direct rendering (I'm 
using the radeon driver) and glxgears runs smoothly, but when I try to open 
Google Earth nothing happens; and when I try to play planet penguin racer, 
the game doesn't open but everything on my screen--the background image, 
icons, mouse cursor--suddenly doubles or triples in size.  Is there something 
else I need to install or configure?

Thanks,

Tim
