Hi Doug, Thanks for responding so quickly.
I have an Intel video controller on this machine (lspci returns: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)). It's a pretty old computer. My libGL.so links to the Mesa driver. At the page you linked to, bjourne suggested "Maybe dpkg-reconfigure --all can solve it", so I'm running that now. It's taking quite a long time! Maybe that won't solve my problem, but I figured it couldn't hurt. I'll let you know. Any other thoughts or things I should look at? -John On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 1:20 PM, Doug Coleman <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Do you happen to have a Radeon card?
