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: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Additional_options_for_the_radeon_driver 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..
