Hey juliokarl2, this worked for me also. At least it got it to working. I get the message that I'm running under emulation mode (even though I'm using ati's binary), and it doesn't seem as fast as it should be, such as under windows (this is a dual boot w/ winxp, and GE runs really smooth on it), but it is working fairly smooth. Since my last post, I've upgraded to ubuntu edgy. I guess I'll have to wait for an official response from google on this. But I'm fairly happy right now. Now, on to other hacks. Thanks!

I tried the workaround from wilniuk, and it works here. Even under XGL, with which I am just experimenting here.
I didn't figure it out myself, as there where other problems at the same time: my x600 3D _hardware_ was broken (as I finally found out ..), and 2D had display failures too.
I then just did not try GE it with older ATI Drivers and the new x1600 again, even if I tried to get rid of all other prolems with a rollback from drivers version to version with the old x600.
So - definitely - all works fine unti ATI drivers 8.27.10.
ATIs libGL.so.1.2 from 8.28.8 up to the actual 8.31.5 don't work with GE. They _do_ with bzflag, etc, even when running under XGL! The apps only state (of course ;-)) that DRI is missing, but the framerate is sufficient.
Thank You all, and mainly wilniuk!

In my opinion, the emulation mode appears not because of the old libGL library, but because of the missing fglrx kernel module. You get no 3D acceleration without it. Make sure it's loaded in /etc/modules (or other place for your distribution) and that it's compiled for your current kernel version. Try to load it by hand first with modprobe fglrx to see if there are any error messages. You can also check if it's loaded with lsmod and get some info with fglrxinfo and fgl_glxgears. Anyway, I think it's a problem with your 3D acceleration in general, not GE.
