Thank you bjaglin! your solution was perfect for me!

Since I have upgraded this machine to Kubuntu Karmic 9.10 (I'm using a
R100 ATI videocard), it always showed I got direct rendering with
glxinfo, however I had no desktop effects and couldn't run any 3D
applications.  After read some tutorials and launchpad bugs I set
AGPSize to 32 and the desktop effects began to work, but no 3D
applications (they hung up or crashed).

I tried everything out there, even to compile drivers and nothing
worked.  But when I downgraded Mesa to 7.5.1 as you suggested (thank for
provide the .deb link, it is very useful indeed!), everything got
better.  Still games like Open Arena run a bit slower than it used to be
in Jaunty but now the 3D apps don't crash anymore, the desktop effects
are still there nicely, and more important, I can use again Blender.

I think there are problems related with performance in the newer mesa
version in Karmic.  Nevertheless this work around works flawlessly until
the maintainers come up with a definitely solution to this problem.

Thank you so much again bjaglin!
