telling maybe a bit more what your systemspecs are, would help, no?

and why as root? usually you work as 'user' ...and did you install opengl drivers for your gfxcard?

did you try to download the official build and run it instead?

i'm running ubuntu 5.10, i686, ati rage 128 pro.

Blender can't be run without proper OpenGL drivers, try to find a solution for Ubuntu in their documentation or their sites/forum...for your ATI, I am sure there is such...if not...try to download the static build of the official build/binary of Blender and see if that works, but it will be slower.
