[PD] Glitchy problems with gem...

[Marco Donnarumma]

Hi James,
I tried your patch on my machine (ubuntu 9.04 ashamed ATI radeon
non-supported) and it's working fine.

ATI is a crap. If you want to make serious 3d/video stuff in GEM on Linux or
you change video card, or you go back 8.04.
Meanwhile you may want to check this tips for a decent configuration of ATI
cards:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver

this helped me to not go crazy and throw my video card... but I still can't
work properly.
hope this helps..


Marco
