I should clarify my comment.  The text is from firefox rendering a .gif

The chipset:

[   292.519] (--) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) HD
Graphics 3000

has:

[   292.535] (II) UXA(0): Driver registered support for the following
operations:
[   292.535] (II)         solid
[   292.535] (II)         copy
[   292.535] (II)         composite (RENDER acceleration)
[   292.535] (II)         put_image
[   292.535] (II)         get_image

and, so far, disabling accel seems to have stopped the problem.
