I should probably also mention that any and all opengl using programs terminate with the same API ERROR.
I have the same problem, ati-drivers 8.25.18 and xorg-x11 6.8.2-r7. Moving to ati-drivers 8.24.8 seems to have solved the problem, so far.
Same here. ati-drivers 8.25.18 xorg-x11 6.8.2-r2 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9200 Series DDR Generic Downgrading to ati-driver 8.24.8 lets opengl work again
I have the same problem.. EXCEPT: Downgrading ati-drivers does not work for me. If I run glxgears as root, it works! (Has anyone else tried this?) Could it be a permissions problem? I have xorg-x11 6.8.2-r1 My ATI card is a Sapphire X850 (the one that until fairly recently didn't work due to a bad chipid)

Had the same problem here with ati-drivers-2.25.18 I've just upgraded to 2.26.18 and I the problem is still there. My card is an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000
According to the release notes(1) from ATI, this is now a known-bug for 2.25.18: "* Attempting to use 3D applications on Radeon 9000/9100/9200/9250 and FireGL 8x00 products fails to start and reports back something similar to

ATI has posted a workaround for this in their FAQ site: issue 737-22637 This is the link: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=22637 I copied the provided libGL.so.1.2 file in: /usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/ and I can confirm the fix works on my ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 I'm running ati-drivers-8.26.18-r1 on a x86 laptop.
This has been fixed by newer releases for some time.
