When I was doing some research I ran across a few articles
mentioning compiz, and xgl and window transparency. Also the link
you provided was of an interview, not of a transparency issue. I
also thought that window transparency and texture corruption was a
different kettle all together.
I also meant i was able to run quake4 32 bit in a native 64 bit
system with just ia32 libs without a change root. Like I mentioned
above I believe that Ubuntu has solved the problem, I hoped for
someone with knowledge can enlighten us all. It could be a chipset
problem with just my board and the ali agp driver.
