so this is the first error i got since hardy came out
what is this about?

[master_kernel]

There is a bug in the new FGLRX 8-4 driver: something about it diverting a file that is already diverted to itself or something. Read more at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=757298.

EDIT: The above may not solve your problem. Try linking libGL.so.1 to libGL.so.1.2 -- sorry I cannot provide the command -- I lost it somewhere...

[gerben1]

I had that too, and solved it by making a link like this:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

as is "explained" here:
