Looks like your OpenGL preview is totally messed up.
Not surprising. It's an ATI graphics card. Those are good for DirectX graphics under Windows 32 bits (which means games) and not for anything else. The ATI hardware is fine, but their drivers are either lousy or non-existent when it comes to something else than DirectX and Windows 32 bits.
The situation may have changed with their new DirectX 10/Vista capable graphics cards. I wouldn't know about that.
I recommend replacing the ATI with an nVidia graphics card. nVidia has good solid OpenGL support, and good solid XP64 and Linux support in all of their drivers.
