As David suggests, check your OpenGL setup (run glxinfo). I had
exactly the same issue when the new OpenGL painter was introduced (the
OpenGL rendering was being done in software) - switching back to the
Qt painter fixed things up.

The OSS radeon driver now has OpenGL support so I'll be able to use
that with MythTV's OpenGL menus now that the fglrx closed-source
driver no longer supports my 9000-series Radeon cards.
