Thanks Mike,
Attached is my glxinfo file after switching both the settings and
putting back the driver that is supposed to be in place.
I filed the findings on the xorg bugzilla report below.

I'll revert the settings to 16 before the next boot to see if DRI is
enabled in the poorly acting settings.
