I'm not sure if this is something which Ember can affect.
I did a quick google search and it seems to be a common error, which can be fixed by changing vsync settings. A quick search gave me http://www.google.com/search?q=Try+adjusting+the+vblank_mode+configuration+parameter.&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:sv-SE:official&client=firefox-a

However, we have changed how the Ogre system is setup in later version of Ember. Could you try the latest version? You can use the Hammer script to easily get it to compile etc. http://wiki.worldforge.org/wiki/Hammer_Script

I'm having the same problem in Fedora 11 but with an ATI card. I looked in the log and found this:
