Very interesting, thanks for the trouble shooting.
Now, if I read this correctly, I'm being "told" buy an Apple Graphics
and Imaging Architect that I "need" to get a new laptop. ;) Kind of
like getting a note from the doctor to stay at home.
Thanks.

I'm not suprised things are not really working full-screen in your
case:
Looking at the VRAM usage, we have:
Framebuffer: 3.5Mb
WindowServer buffer: 3.5Mb
OpenGL backbuffer: 3.5Mb
OpenGL z-buffer: between 1.75 and 3.5Mb
Total = 12.25Mb to 14Mb out of 16Mb, so that leaves a very small
amount of VRAM to load textures or be used by other applications.
You should be able to run QC fine in non-full-screen around
600x400, but if you wanna go full-screen, lower your screen
resolution.
Where would I find messages saying that I was running out of VRAM?
This is not printed anywhere by the system AFAIK - the developer
tool OpenGL Driver Monitor can give the exact VRAM usage though
("current free video memory" parameter)
