Do you have a OpenGL-capable graphics driver installed? If you install the package mesa-utils and run the program glxinfo, what is the output? Especially, the "OpenGL renderer string" is of interest.

In additional drivers, I should install :
ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates)
and
ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver
the second one is installed but the first one, is not and said that the lof file in /var/log/jockey.log , I should look at

No. Like this:

  sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
  glxinfo

Glad to hear the issue could be resolved so easily. However, I have no idea why it worked, though... Could it just be the reboot, and nothing actually to do with mesa-utils?
