Your graphics card support OpenGL 2.0 and some parts of OpenGL 2.1 and OpenGL 3.0 - http://support.amd.com/techdocs/46112.pdf

Are you using free drivers for graphics card?

And what does Stellarium's logfile say? (~/.stellarium/log.txt)
Funny artifacts between MATE and Qt are also possible. I doubt we can control this.

I can confirm some interesting display driver issues on my little AMD netbook with Ubuntu Mate 16.1 with Stellarium 0.15.1. However, this is nothing we can control or solve, sorry. Hope GPU drivers will improve.
