Please don't answer with previous message included.
Could you provide the model of your computer ? And best google it to see which is the GPU (this can be the chipset for a laptop).

Please open your terminal, install a pacakge:

  sudo apt-get install mesa-utils

After installing it, invoke this command and give me the output:

  glxinfo | grep OpenGL

Can you help with this problem?
