Correct - it's and onboard Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics
Controller. And he also has another thread "OpenGL glxgears demo
program" where I'm still waiting for him to provide:

Also can you check via Synaptic for the video drivers you have
installed? Search on 'intel' & then click in the first box (to the left
of 'Package' - that will organize all of the installed one's at the top.
Now scroll to the installed xserver-xorg files an let me know which
one's you have installed. Also search on 'xgl' and let me know if if you
have any xserver-xgl installed.

I reckon that since he's started a second thread that I no longer need
to try and assist him in his first thread.
