64bit linux -- can't play anything

[rokclimb15]

Ok. lspci confirms that you have an Ivy Bridge (3rd gen Intel Core) CPU and integrated graphics. You're using the i915 kernel driver (native Linux driver).

See this page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8545291/opengl-glx-extension-not-supported

What do you get from glxinfo/glxgears? I think i915 uses the Mesa libGL.
