sam@sam-desktop:~$ glxinfo |grep direct
direct rendering: No

Do you have an nvidia or ati video card?

You'll find that you get a better response to your questions if you use a subject line that is more detailed than "Help". A subject line like "Low FPS in WoW" or "Turning on 3D acceleration" would get you better responses sooner. :)

You'll find that this site - UbuntuGuide (http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy) - will be very helpful in showing you how to install almost anything and get your system running as you'd like it.

The link I provided is for Edgy. If you're running Dapper, check the top of that site for a link to the Dapper-specific guide.

Here's a direct link to the graphics card setup section (http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Graphics_Card) in UbuntuGuide.
