Me too, I'm not able to play with Gem under Fedora 8 with fglrx driver. I'll give more info about this problem.

I have this problem too. I don't think it will be as simple as tweaking any config files though. Perhaps the eventual arrival of DRI2 will improve things. I don't know too much about the fglrx situation either, other than what I've read at the Phoronix forums. Perhaps help can be found there.
This issue came after the Hardy upgrade though, right? weird. I may try compiling against opengl 1.5, as I did in gutsy.
does the problem still persist in recent Gem builds? (with recent i mean *post* 2008-05-05)
i would be interested to hear how things perform with my recent hacks. additionally it would also be good to hear from linuxers using intel-gfx cards whether these changes have improved anything on their side.
