This hardware appears to be a write-off for Gnome3 now (see the
comment by Owen Taylor at the BZ below), but I'll still point out
something interesting I saw on my other ATI.

I happen to have an RV200, which I tried with F15BetaRC1, and while
it was generally unusable for many reasons, the fonts were not corrupted
as they are with RV250/280.  So, I think that may support the idea of
there just being a bug in the R200 implementation.

OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R100 (RV200 5157) 20090101  TCL DRI2
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 7.11-devel
