I you are interested ...

the problem is not Xorg, it is kwin/kworkspace, seems part of compiz had
made it into it, at least the xorg.conf requirements are now the same 

in xorg config I had only

DefaultDepth 24 

seems explicit to set Depth 24 in the subsection

Option Xinerama can not be present anymore

both worked fine in kde4.7 with openGL

after this two changes to xorg.conf kde4.8 is running openGL

unfortunately new_xorg w/openGL under KDE4.8 crash constantly with
applications, like Chrome for example, also it seems not
to like styles like QtCurve

anyway the new_xorg is pretty fast in both modes xrender/opengl in
comparism to the "old" xorg

using xrender it seems to be very stable, so I stay with it

Fortunately this quote is nonsense and it is absolutely not possible:
"People who do not break things first, 
		will never learn to create anything" 
Nobody can break a thing without creating it first.
Unfortunately Logic not, you have it or not, it simply is or not
Now, are you the lucky or the unlucky?
