Just ugraded my Ubuntu box with an ATI Radeon 9000 (RV250) to 9.10.
The desktop flickers, windows leave trails when moved, and menus/windows
are not cleaned off the desktop when closed.
All due to AMD/ATI lack of OpenGL support; well documented on Ubuntu forums.
Needless to say, running Blender is hopeless, and there is no way we can fix it
that I can think of.

Id like to help you too. If you have anything ATI specific you want me to
test just throw it at me.
Also i made some observations using the new sculpt of which you might be
well aware but i'll list them anyway.
* Simplified view navigation works fine. The only problem i have
personally is
that it should use the preview resolution from the multires modifier
instead
the first resolution. This aids navigation if high res mesh differs from
the
lowest res much.
* View navigation is much smoother in sculpt mode then in object mode with
a
mesh with a multires modifier. A 1.5 million verts mesh in object mode
(preview res maxed out!) has the same impact as a 6 million verts mesh in
sculpt mode.
* Triple buffering works fine here and is speeding up menu drawing nicely,
when
drawing the 3dview becomes slow, compared to overlap. I didn't test full
redraw but don't expect anything glorious so ...
* In textured view port shading the view of the geometry isn't updated at
all.
Switching to solid updates it.
