Jamie,
To play Tuxracer, you must make sure that
1) the stock driver for your video card supports accelerated graphics. (For
instance, the stock NVidia driver does not). I don't know squat about your
video card, so I can't help you any more here.
2) To use OpenGL, X must be OpenGL-ready via the Mesa RPMs. You should
double-check that you have Mesa installed with
rpm -qa | grep Mesa
which should list Mesa, Mesa-common, and Mesa-demos (well, I don't think you
really _must_ have this last one). If they're not, pop in your installation
CDs and install them.
Hope this helps,
Miark
