I had the same issue. If I recall correctly, there is a relatively simple solution on the Ubuntu forums somewhere.

The solution isn't so simple on wheezy if you want to keep your install sane. AKA don't install debs from ubuntu/other repos.

When I last checked, what was necessary is backporting a new verison of libgl1-mesa and possibly other things. Haven't had time to see if that fixes it yet though.

This is one area where Linux in general, and Debian in specific, isn't currently very gamer friendly -- graphics drivers languish at out of date versions for far too long.

Oh well, maybe 2015 will be the year of linux on the desktop.

For me and my wife and me for work it was 2007.
