Right. But, as Michel meant, you should check that you don't have fglrx
installed currently, and also that you didn't have in the past. The
point is not "how did fglrx get installed ?", but rather "did it get
installed once and messed up your libGL, causing this bug ?" :)

What does 'ls -l /usr/lib/libGL*' say? Does reinstalling Etch's
libgl1-mesa-dri change anything?

Thanks
