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
