Hello everyone,
A while back I was getting frustrated with the ati graphics driver in Kubuntu, and Rog131 told me to try the closed-source fglrx graphics driver instead. It solved my problems with screen refreshing and font rendering, until . . . the next day, when all my 3D games started running very jerkily, and my OpenGL screensaver did too. I returned to the ati driver, but it's problems with Blender bugged me too much, so I reinstalled fglrx. This time it worked for four days, before losing acceleration again today. It's not so hard to install and uninstall fglrx, using Envy, but it seems rather silly, so I'd like to find a permanent fix.
Some info:
Errors:
Warnings:
And yes, I can see the errors up there, I just don't know how to fix them. 
Another interesting, and possibly useful, tidbit is that I compiled Cinelerra while I had fglrx installed, and it said that it couldn't find the OpenGL libraries - and this was while hardware acceleration was still working. After I uninstalled fglrx, ./configure found OpenGL quite nicely . . .
Any ideas?
