I was dealing with android developing on my 64-bit ubuntu 10.10,while using mksdcard to make a sdcard for a avd,an error come up as"failed to create the SD card",it's so annoy! So, I googled it ,and got a solution on a web site below:

Failed to create the SD card Or Android SDL init failure, reason is: No available video device
running Android SDK on 64-bit Fedora. Have to install 32-bit X libraries.
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
