The free ATI drivers are subject of intensive improvement, but can still be problematic. Try this:
The free ATI drivers are subject of intensive improvement, but can still be problematic (see the pictures). Try disabling 'Use Point Sprites for Runway Lights'. (remember to close from the menu to save the setting). If the menu is unreadable, you can disable that feature in the config files [[$FG_HOME]]/autosave.xml and/or [[$FG_ROOT]]/preferences.xml:
#Start FG in the normal way.
  <point-sprites type="bool">false</point-sprites>
#Select 'View' drop-down menu (one from the left- you may not be able to read the labels!)
#Select 'Rendering Options' (fourth choice)
#Uncheck 'Use Point Sprites for Runway Lights' (fourth check-box)
When you come to quit FG, do so by menu: File...Exit, rather than closing the window to save this setting.
 
If you can't read the Menu titles (because of corrupted graphics) you can manually edit the config files [[$FG_HOME]]autosave.xml and/or [[$FG_ROOT]]/preferences.xml before even starting FlightGear. The file autosave.xml is created the first time FlightGear is closed and settings in it override the defaults in [[$FG_ROOT]]/preferences.xml. Use your operating system's search facilities to find the files if you don't know where to look for them. Close Flightgear and change the ''true'' to ''false'' in the line
  <point-sprites type="bool">true</point-sprites>
in both files (if you don't have an autosave.xml it is sufficient to make the change in preferences.xml) and start FlightGear again.
