Yes. I'm not sure what's the difference between the two packages, but i think the ubuntu one is a snapshot before the official release, there's must be some changes between the two snapshots. Either that or it's a packaging problem.
At any rate, indeed it boosts the glxgears score, but it's not enough. I still have problems: with ppracer some races only give 2-3 fps while others work fine - but only in 16 bits depth. I tried also flight gear and it's as slow as without acceleration at all. Plus compiz doesn't work - it just crashes the X server.
