Android emulator not working on ubuntu

I am a newbie android learner. I have downloaded the adt bundle from the developer's site, but I am running into problems when I run the android emulator. I have an x86-64 architecture with Ubuntu 12.04. After booting the avd, when I run the android application, it gives the following error:

[2013-09-16 18:53:50 - Emulator] X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
[2013-09-16 18:53:50 - Emulator]   Major opcode of failed request:  153 (GLX)
[2013-09-16 18:53:50 - Emulator]   Minor opcode of failed request:  19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
[2013-09-16 18:53:50 - Emulator]   Serial number of failed request:  12
[2013-09-16 18:53:50 - Emulator]   Current serial number in output stream:  12

Any ideas?

I had exactly the same problem. The link suggested above android emulator won't start on ubuntu 12.04 after when run from ssh included the tip to run, from the terminal, this: 

emulator-arm -avd your_avd

and it did launch the emulator.

A quick, very dirty way to make Eclipse use emulator-arm instead of emulator when launching projects, was just to rename emulator-arm as emulator in the adt-bundle/sdk/tools folder.

It works for me.

If anyone has a better idea, (i.e. how to make the generic emulator work on Ubuntu 12.04 in the first place, or how to configure eclipse so that it uses emulator-arm instead of emulator in order to launch an avd), please let us know.

Thanks.
