For what it is worth I'm running Jedi Knight II in OS X 10.2.3 with 
QuickTime 6.1 and a Radeon 8500 and it looks fine.

G4/733 (digital audio), Radeon 8500, OS X 10.2.3, QuickTime Pro 6.1

PS I read somewhere that you shouldn't install the ATI update over 
10.2.3? (probably on xlr8yourmac). Did you do that?
