Blender problems

[itisthesteve]

Compiled with Python version 2.6.6.
Checking for installed Python... got it!
intern/ghost/intern/GHOST_WindowX11.cpp:177: X11 glxChooseVisual() failed for OpenGL, verify working openGL system!
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 18Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)

Current serial number in output stream: 22Current serial number in output stream: 22

I would very much like to be able to use blender, I know it's some sort of opengl/graphics card problem - which is pretty much the entire reason I switched to LMDE in the first place (I don't understand linux+graphics cards! )

Thankyou in advance for any help that you give me.

The graphics card I added after already installing LMDE on the computer - so I'm guessing I am going to have to juggle some graphics packages.

Thanks for the speedy reply
