hi chrisinnanaimo, thank you for replying, I'm sorry I couldn't answer sooner but the e-mails were coming in faster than I could cope with. John Elson told me to run glxgears, which I did once I found out where it was and it worked fine showing that it could run opengl programs. Although I've used ubuntu since feisty fawn came out I never really got into Linux I just used the programs as you would with windows xp just clicking on every thing with the mouse. Thanks again for trying, John Dunn
