Problems with Games

Now that I have everything working to my satisfaction on this laptop,
its time to turn my attention to a couple of little problems I am having
getting some games to run. The games in question are Planet Penguin
Racer and Emilia Pinball. The machine is a Sony VAIO VGN-FJ250P. OS
version is Ubuntu Feisty with latest upgrades installed. Graphics is
Intel. As games would not load at all from the menu I opened a terminal
and used the command line.

For PPRacer this is the resulting message:
 jim at JimsBook:~$ ppracer
PPRacer 0.3.1 --  http://racer.planetpenguin.de

*** ppracer error: Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX
visual (Success)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

And for Pinball a very similar message:
jim at JimsBook:~$ pinball
Couldn't open config file: /home/jim/.emilia/pinball
Using default values
Initing SDL

0 joysticks were found.
Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
jim at JimsBook:~$

Checking with synaptic shows I have GLX libraries installed.

Also attached is System.txt

Thanks

Jim
