I also faced similar problem and in my case I installed a correct graphics Driver. Simple test for OpenGL is to test with OpenGL screensavers (This is to best my Knowledge). Once OpenGL is Working Natively on Linux Do Sketchup Installation and It works. Mine is KUbuntu 8.0.4.1, wine 1.1.3 I have done some settings after install but I dont remember them exactly. Hope I could search them and post again Thanks and Best Regards Raja Patil
