I am new to linux and love it so far. I appreciate the community and the support it seems to get and it makes microsoft seem so dull. Anyway, I have a problem that I need answered.
I have just recently installed Linux Mint LXDE on an older computer (32 bit) with an ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card and ran into a problem. When I click on Blender nothing happens. I talked to a friend who told me to pull up lspci and this is what I have. Can anybody tell me what is wrong?

If I missed something I will gladly post what info is needed. Just tell me how to get it and I will post it as I am very inexperienced with this operating system and have much to learn. Thank you for the support!

Check your video driver with ( copy and paste command in terminal ) :

Re: Blender will not open when clicked
I have tried everything that you suggested and when I click on blender it still doesn't open. It just doesn't respond at all.
Here is the info for the video driver
matt@linux ~ $ inxi -Gx

This is what it says in Terminal when i type

Re: Blender will not open when clicked
I read from this site , you need to install :
ibavformat53; libavdevice53; libswscale2
maybe you can check in synaptic package manager if the packages installed
ibavformat53; libavdevice53; libswscale2

Re: Blender will not open when clicked
I did have to install libavformat53 but unfortunately it still does not turn on. I read the webpage that you attached and got the same error that the other person got telling me that libavformat52, libavdevice52, and libswscale0 were not found. I even looked for those just to try it but they were not there.
