Let's start at the beginning:

What is the output of "lspci | grep VGA"
Also, what video driver are you using to drive it?
(Check the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log to be sure, but you could also
look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file if you have one.)
Finally, what is the result of "glxinfo | grep direct"

That should tell me exactly which video "card" is in your machine, which
video driver is being used, and whether or not DRI is being used.  We
can go from there.
