Uhm, it says on startup:
^7GL_VENDOR: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org

Are you sure your 3D acceleration is setup correctly? I'm not sure what driver your chip uses, but mesa is usually software rendering...
Does "glxinfo|grep render" say "Yes"?

i did the command, and got a no... F%$#.

My guess is either 3D hardware acceleration got Fd with the last kernal update or it was never enabled and 1.5 now needs it to be active.
Currently it's a VIA UniChrome Pro IGP.

I'm planning to rebuild my x64 Linux box so I think I'm just going to buy a nVidia GF6600 GT 256MB AGP and using a bigger Harddrive.

Well, it must have worked at sometime, because without hardware 3D acceleration you would get less than 1 frame per second. I tried that once, you can't even use menu because the mouse pointer just moves once every 2 seconds or so...
But reinstalling those drivers should help if they were messed up by a kernel update.

Well the good thing I got out of this is that my x64 linux box compiles fast as hell and still a great game/bot server.

As far as i know all those graphic drivers from ati/nvidia use some kernel module to talk to the hardware.. and kernel modules are only loaded if they were compiled for the same kernel version.. maybe you just need to reinstall the drivers..
