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!

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.
