Hi James,<br>I tried your patch on my machine (ubuntu 9.04 ashamed ATI radeon non-supported) and it&#39;s working fine.<br><br>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.<br>
Meanwhile you may want to check this tips for a decent configuration of ATI cards:<br><br><a href="http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Additional_options_for_the_radeon_driver">http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Additional_options_for_the_radeon_driver</a><br>
<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver</a><br><br>this helped me to not go crazy and throw my video card... but I still can&#39;t work properly.<br>hope this helps..<br>

What&#39;s more, with desktop effects enabled gem has a lot of weirdness!<br>
The window border disappears, the lower half of the window displays a<br>
garbled image, and it corrupts the rest of my desktop! So I disabled<br>
desktop effects and am currently now having trouble with multiple<br>
gemheads - please see the attached patch. If all 3 gemheads are enabled,<br>
the first two seem to switch places very quickly (many times a second) -<br>
they should be static and scroll with the key presses. However I&#39;ve just<br>
tested this on my desktop box running karmic with an nvidia card and it<br>
seems fine!<br>
<br>
If anyone can help with any of these issues, please let me know - it&#39;s<br>
very frustrating!<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
<br>
James<br>
