yes, I did! :) But, my problem is not exactly the same. The Libs are installed right and all went fine. Games like Openarena use Opengl and run fine. Only "non-debian"-pakages like doom and googleearth don't run correctly. But as root, also they run nice. Very strange. I think, there must be a permission-problem. I thinked about selinux and the normal-filerights). But for now, I don't have any solution. But, thanks for this wiki!
