Your video card probably does not support accelerated OpenGL, or your X.org 
is using a wrong driver.  Post the name of your video card, and the juicy 
bits from /var/log/Xorg.0.log

If you are using any video card based on the Nvidia chipset, it will not 
work, unless you manually compile and install Nvidia's proprietary non-free 
binary blob drivers.  If you're a noob, don't do that (unless you like to 
experiment, which is fine, as long as you fully understand this).  One wrong 
step, and your Linux system becomes unbootable.  Either reinstall a 
different Linux distribution that embraces and includes Nvidia's non-free 
binary drivers, or replace your video card to one based on an Intel graphics 
chipset (or some ATI chipsets) that's supported by Mesa.  See 
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Status for a list of video chipsets 
supported by Mesa accelerated OpenGL drivers.
