It seems to be working OK for me.

The download page actually sends you here:

   http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3&release_id=66091

That's good advice - this appears to be a problem with RedHat and Mandrake's
botched version of Mesa.

Downloading a new version of Mesa should fix it.

I guess so.

I use SuSE Linux (because they send me free copies from time to time
and for no other reason) - I imagine Debian is OK too.

The only ones we see many complaints about are RedHat and Mandrake
(which are *very* similar in many respects).
