Which driver are you using? The closed source Ati one or the open source driver? You can find that out by typing

Code: [Select]

glxinfo, then you see it under "OpenGL vendor string".

The closed source ati one? Have you installed it directly with the restricted hardware manager in Ubuntu? Well, that driver is usually really buggy and reporting a bug doesn't help  improve anything. Just my personal experience. :)
