Hannes,
I believe that ATI's latest Linux drivers do support OpenGL2.0, as the 
following press release from 1/18/06 (RSS feed: 
http://www.ati.com/online/rss/atilinuxdriver.rss?OTC-rssfeedlinux) indicates:
-----------------
Linux Proprietary Driver 8.21.7 Release: x86 and x86_64 variants
NEW FEATURES: (1) ATI Linux Driver Installer now 50% smaller. (2) OpenGL 2.0 
Support. ISSUES RESOLVED: (1) mode2 option in aticonfig now supported as 
documented (2) Starting X server when the virtual desktop size is set higher 
than the largest display mode available for the display device no longer 
results in fatal server error. 1/18/2006 3:00 PM
-----------------
Also, the latest ATI Linux drivers (released 8/18/06) do away with fglrxconfig 
in favor of aticonfig.  Hopefully, a change for the better since fglrx never 
worked in my dual card setup.

The merge is not complete, yet, but almost.

You might be interested to try out OpenGL support, which I've committed to svn 
a minute ago. You need the patches that I attach here to enable it. One of 
them will find its way into svn later.

* If you have complete OpenGL 2.0 support (currently only available from 
NVidia), apply only opengl-configure.diff.

* If you don't have complete OpenGL 2.0 support (e.g. MESA software 
rendering), you can add both patches. But this will cripple most 
OpenGL-enabled effects; they don't produce output or whatever. But at least 
the Dissolve transition will work.

Apply the patches with patch -p1 < xxx.diff.
Run ./configure --enable-opengl

You have to choose X11-GL in the Preferences to enable OpenGL. Also read the 
new manual about additional constraints (basically, don't mix hardware and 
software effects).

Don't report bugs. Wait until the merge is complete. You can meet me at 
#cinelerra on IRC in 9 hours from now if you need help.
