When your computer does not have the Optimus Technolog (NVidia) or Hybrid Graphics technology (ATI), you are likely to be unable to run FlightGear. Integrated graphics cards are very weak; too weak for FlightGear. You can try to switch of some of the eye-candy though, but even then the same error may appear...

It may be useful to check the latest drivers for your graphic card.
•If you have a Nvidia GPU, then visit http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:Improve_framerates#nVidia.
•For '''ATI line''' of video cards, look at this site: http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-catalyst/pages/catalyst.aspx .You should find a file named "Catalyst control center", which allow you to modify the behaviour of your GPU with flightgear. I mean the Antialiasing control, the triple buffering, etc.
