Emc2 Crashes when starting

Hi Guys,

I thought this would be an eays thing to put in the LiveCD, install the OS to the Disk and here we are.

My PC is a quite old Dell Server ~4 years.
During that time I could remember I had the problem to start the graphical installer of Fedora Core 4.
But it seems to be that the ubuntu version 8.4 has also slight problems with this Board well ... they are both quite old.

When I try to start the ECM2 i see the screendump but it turned out that the graphics seems to be not supported

stefan@emc2: > glxinfo
Unrecognized deviceID 258a
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 130 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
Serial number of failed request: 25
Current serial number in output stream: 26


Here are my Questions:
1) is there a way of getting my Grapics running?
2) is there a list of verified hardware that is still sold?'

THX

To get the current graphic card:
lspci | grep VGA

Maybe you have an insufficient RAM or disk space problem:
"X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)"

To see your resources:
free
df -h

Thanks Andreas,

this was the hint, after installing 'libgl1-mesa-swx11' glx_info works and EMC2 is able to start....
