I'm trying to run Sweet Home 3D, but it won't open. I get a fatal error in 3D rendering system. It says "please update the DirectX/OpenGL drivers of your computer graphics card".
ATI/AMD directs me to the IBM website to get the driver. My Thinkpad uses a Radeon Xpress 200M video card. I got the windows driver from there, but I don't know that it would work with Ubuntu 10.10. I believe the video is controlled using KMS, but when I try and view the OpenGL info it appears not to be working.
Here is the info I get.

I'm still new to Ubuntu and learning, so I need a little extra explination.
Anyone have any ideas where I go from here? How do I fix the OpenGL or extension GLX missing thing?
