New Linux Gamer

[z3snap]

I'm new to Linux gaming, and need to know all the programs I need to install as a prerequisite to gaming on Linux... I install the UT2004 demo and this error came up: Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
Either GL_EXT_bgra or glDrawRangeElements not supported- bailing out.

History:

Exiting due to error

What 3D card do you have got? Have you installed any drivers for it? (just guessing here...)

[z3snap]

sry, I have an ATI Radeon 9200se, I downloaded the new driver but not sure if it is installed...

Open your terminal and do
fglrxinfo

if it says Mesa Project then the driver is not running.

Open the terminal and put
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Scroll down till you find this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Your ATI Card"
Driver "mesa"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

change the "mesa" to "fglrx" and reboot. you shud be good to go.

Shouldn't that be "vesa" instead of "mesa" in xorg.conf?

Vesa or mesa, it depends really. I beleive mesa is used in the 9000 series and vesa is used in the x000 series
