Actually, good catch. I had not exhausted those options. Indirectly, 
though, you seem to have prompted the solution:

While adding a repository for a recent packaged binary kernel, I noticed 
that while I was using the open source driver for my video card, there 
was a binary tested driver at the top of the list. On a whim I tried 
that, and my problem seems to have gone away, over about half a dozen tests.

Thanks everyone, and I certainly learned from the conversation. First 
try packaged binaries before contemplating compiling one's own.

Thanks again,
Michael
