There have be several different problems reported with the linux version and ATI cards. If you can find an ogre.log and/or freeorion.log fises produced when trying to run freeorion, attaching these (zipped) in a reply would be helpful.
Incidently, thanks for following the IRC channel topic's suggestion to post on the forums after not getting a reply on the IRC chat.
I think he was eventually able to get things running, though I'm not sure if that was on the ATI system, and it required some rebuilding after code changes. (And those same code changes seem to cause problems for others...)
