I was getting the same error when trying to run Blender 2.5 Beta. I added Tormod Volden's ppa and updated to his newer drivers.
glxgears seems to work now, I can re-size the window without it crashing, and Blender starts up but has other issues. The text in Blender is all jumbled up. It looks almost like Chinese or Japanese characters until you look real close and can barely make out the English words. I attached a screen shot. I see another version of the drivers are scheduled to be built soon on Tom's ppa. Will test them tomorrow.
