I tried the Catalyst 5.1 drivers and they seem pretty good as well. The only redraw problems I noticed were slow redraws on Parm Dialogs the first time you display a node of that type.
This is a far cry from the earlier Catalyst drivers, which were slow and unstable with Houdini.
Incidently, I'm using a Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb, so my performance will likely be better than a 9700 (one step ahead generation-wise) and a mobility chip (which is clocked lower).
Yes, that env variable is definitely a last ditch punt. Use it only if nothing else works (driver updates, other OGL env variables, etc)

Yah, but that's going to completely disable the opengl usage of the graphics card, isn't it? Sort of the point of getting a 3D card in the first place…

In my defense, I mentioned that environment variable for ATI Rage 128.
