EDIT:
I gather you have decent hardware zing but sometimes having Compiz running at the same time your trying to play graphics intensive games & stuff can be a problem.Try shutting compiz down & switching to the normal Window manager...Metacity.
Just use ALT-F2 rather than the terminal if you want...a bit like the RUN dialogue in Windows...
that will switch you over to metacity and kill compiz while.....
will switch compiz back on. |
Ok installed the opengl and it gave me 3d but wasnt right. You were correct shutting down compiz does appear to sort it so its now usable for what I want. I will be doing a read up for WINE to see if I can actually game on it (not holding out to much hope but its just extending my experiement) Have to say its been a lot more successful than ever before still a few visits to Terminal but with help its proved doable. Guess my view on Linux on a basic machine nearly out of the box for an average user is now a possibility
