    Some Games Will Not Load

    Hi,
    I have just finished playing Supertux one without any problems at all, so I installed supertux2 from the repo. When I click on it to play nothing happens. This also happens with a few other games such as supertuxcart.

    Im using Ubuntu 8.04 and this is the output from the terminal for supertux 2

    michelle@michelle-desktop:~$ supertux2
    [/home/michelle/.supertux2] is in the search path
    [/usr/share/games/supertux2] is in the search path
    Invalid button '0' in buttonmap
    Invalid button '1' in buttonmap
    Invalid axis '-2' in axismap
    Invalid axis '-1' in axismap
    Invalid axis '1' in axismap
    Invalid axis '2' in axismap
    Fatal: Unexpected exception: Couldn't set video mode (800x600-0bpp): Couldn't find matching GLX visual
    michelle@michelle-desktop:~$

    And here is the output for supertuxkart

    michelle@michelle-desktop:~$ supertuxkart
    freeglut (supertuxkart): OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0'
    michelle@michelle-desktop:~$

    I have no idea what any of that means but would I be right in assuming it's something to do with graphics? When I click to see hardware drivers I get a message saying nothing is in use on the system. I am still quite new to Ubuntu and any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks In Advance.

    Definitely a video hardware/driver issue.

    Please give some more info on your hardware and someone may be able to assist you.
