To be honest its a pretty rubbish graphics card, the PC's been cobbled
together from parts out of the attic. Its probably from about 2005.
I've had motherboards that have had better onboard chips than this card. But
it has got a non-motorised heatsink.

Could you post the output of:
glxinfo | egrep 'OpenGL|render'
lspci | grep -i vga
I may be able to offer some help on GPU performance. :)

I've just had a look - you can resize the window to make it bigger? I
guess it depends on your resolution, but with the window resized to
display without a requirement for scroll-bars, they disappeared
completely.
