I can confirm this bug on my current hardy install (all updates as of march 15). I am on 32 bit, interestingly enough also running fglrx on an mobility X1600, but as the OP also tried the open source drivers this does not seem to be the problem. Starting mathematica from a terminal I get error messages like this:
X Error of failed request: RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 157 (RENDER) Minor opcode of failed request: 7 (RenderFreePicture) Picture id in failed request: 0x4200035 Serial number of failed request: 34814 Current serial number in output stream: 35113 X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 157 (RENDER) Minor opcode of failed request: 4 (RenderCreatePicture) Serial number of failed request: 29745 Current serial number in output stream: 29748 Just tried the suggestion above: running mathematica -defaultvisual solves this problem for me!
