[SOLVED] games won't run

[patrickdarcy]

i was experimenting with my ssd and did a complete fresh install of mageia again
and then i decided to check out some kinds , not to play particularly but to just
see how they run.

they dont.

i have the ati driver installed and when i run chromium all i get is a blank
screen with music playing.

when i attempt to play briquolo again just a blank screen.

even before i reinstalled i attempted to play games to no avai.

ideas would be appreciated.

Please post the output of

Code: Select all

grep -Ri driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log

and

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep version

When you mentioned Chromium, you mean Chromium B.S.U., i guess?
