Stupid Error/question
Hi, I just thought I'd ask the question on here because i got no response on the ubuntu forums. I am running Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 and have compiled and installed the Openchrome drivers and also DRI module. I get a wierd error when i check things out like glxinfo

what is that error... the reason i'm asking is I have:
 biostar P4M800 motherboard with onboard graphics
40gb hd
512ram
2.6 Celeron
and I have trouble running simple games like neverball, which in windows on the same PC runs fine, along with unreal tournamet, and wolfenstein et... everything is laggy... I was wondering if it has a problem with my configuration or if linux is using more system requirements that would let the windows conterparts run faster?

Any Help Is Greatly Appreciated... I love linux but i don't know if i can deal with the gaming performance in linux...

Thanks Again,
Dane
