The short answer is yes.  The longer answer is that you need to use the 
daily build on the newest versions of Ubuntu, and if the daily build 
doesn't work, please send me the output of CHIMERA/bin/linuxdist and the 
output of the glxinfo program, so I can reproduce the bug.  I'd also 
recommend installing the closed source graphics driver if you have ATI 
or NVidia graphics.
