The 16 bit depth (in combination with other things... see URLs below)
was the culprit for your BadMatch errors.

Here are some comments I left in my xorg.conf after updating to 7.2

        # With DefaultDepth 16 & the Composite extension, mozilla based (gtk?)
        # apps running the flash plugin get BadMatch X errors with the Intel
        # internal card (and with the Radeon if not using the xtrap extension).
        #
        # Using depth of 24 works around this problem.  Apparently it's a problem
        # with the application picking different visuals.  You can force some
        # apps to disable use of composite visuals to also work around this.
        # example: env XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 xdpyinfo

This has nothing to do with linux emulation, of course.  Any flash issues
you have are separate issues.
