@jdodson sorry didnt state the name of the game :)
it is bzflag.
when i run glxgears the output is like this:
root@mrCloud:~ # glxgears
2256 frames in 5.0 seconds = 451.200 FPS
2434 frames in 5.0 seconds = 486.800 FPS
2393 frames in 5.0 seconds = 478.600 FPS
2436 frames in 5.0 seconds = 487.200 FPS
2435 frames in 5.0 seconds = 487.000 FPS
2435 frames in 5.0 seconds = 487.000 FPS
2437 frames in 5.0 seconds = 487.400 FPS
2435 frames in 5.0 seconds = 487.000 FPS
2435 frames in 5.0 seconds = 487.000 FPS
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

i get around 2,500-3,000 FPS. did you install the nvidia drivers using the method in the http://www.ubuntuguide.org

That fps sounds about right for a card like that. Depends on the rest of your comp though. The geforce2 in my laptop gets about 500. The one that used to be in my desktop (RIP) got around 2000. My 5900 gets 6500-7000.

First of all this is not something you need to run as root. I noticed the root@mrCloud thing and just thought I'd warn ya.

Try glxinfo. That might spout out some info more useful than glxgears had.

The error you gave initially doesn't tell me much. What game were you trying to play? Did it let you start playing at all and then quit or did it quit as soon as you joined?

i have tried everything in the game options.
even when i changed the quality normal or low or effects .....
pure virtual method cancelled.
even i tried to play it under xp.
but the same thing again. :(
pure virtual method cancelled.
it is really killing me..

whatever, my glxinfo is like this;
