ernsteiswuerfel, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.

1) To clarify, you have which mac precisely from the list in
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201518 ?

2) Is there something missing when you choose 1 that you don't get from
the other three?

Title:
  GPU compositors do not work on r300-class Radeon cards on PPC hardware

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu MATE 16.04 one can select 4 compositing modes via MATE Tweak 
(german translation):
  1. Marco (kein Komposit)
  2. Marco (Programmkomposit)
  3. Marco (Compton GPU-Komposit)
  4. Compiz (anspruchsvolle Schreibtischeffekte mit GPU-Beschleunigung)

  On my PowerMac G5 7,3 with a Radeon 9650 Pro only the 1st one works properly. 
The 2nd one works, but more sluggish and a jerkier mouse pointer. 3 and 4 trash 
the desktop showing wrong colours. Only VERY jerky mouse movement is possible 
then. The desktop is no longer in a usable state any longer, you can't click on 
anything. Restarting the desktop with "systemctl restart lightdm" from console 
returns the desktop usable (defaulting to 1st compositor.
  Same problem on my PowerBook 5,6.
