Hi,

well this is an ugly to deactivate GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object (OpenGL only) 
extension support by game.

If you have correct graphics after that, you have find (another) ATI linux 
driver bug :)

You can send it to ATI guys (they will be happy) :)

Regards,
Raphael

PS: Nvidia drivers seems to have bug on vbo support too (but only on my 
proto) :(
