That should work. even if the order is a little strange, because I would 
put the alpha and color before the pix_texture, but it is working here 
and I also have an ATI Radeon X1600 (MacOS).
what do you mean with "turn alpha on/off"? are you setting the alpha by 
sending a value between 0 and 1 to the rightmost inlet of colorRGB?
are there additional things in your patch which could cause the problem?
