[Sderby] still having problems

[Ashley Heath]

Have a look in  /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or if that doesn't exist try /etc/X11/XF86Config and 
make sure you have a line in the module section that says
	Load   "glx"

comment out any lines 
	Load  "dri"
        Load  "GLcore"

If there is an entry for UseFBDev set this to False
