Works for me on 9.3.  Haven't tried on 10.x yet.  Oh yeah, also works on 
Kubuntu.

Radeon 7900 (or some such).

My display is initially a mess too.  I believe this is because the chipset
does not clear itself properly before GE starts using it.

I wait till the first display is completed its zoom in, then resize the window
and everything is perfect from then on out.  I've also seen this behavior
with tux racer.
