Hi Peter,

based on the output above there is definitely something wrong with your graphic card drivers.

The message:
""" err:wgl:has_opengl Failed to load libGL: libGL.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 """
sounds like you probably have only 64bit drivers installed, and that you're missing the 32bit libraries.

Are you using the proprietary or the nouveau drivers? When you installed the proprietary drivers manually make sure to select the checkbox "Install NVIDIA's 32-bit compatibility OpenGL libraries" during the installation, for nouveau drivers make sure that libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 is installed. After you've installed the missing 32-bit graphic card drivers please try again (all of the error messages above should be vanish).

Nevertheless: It is well-known that Pipelight (or wine in general, to be more precisely) doesn't work that well with "very low-end" graphic-cards. You can also take a look at the output of "glxinfo" (and attach it to this bug report) if you want to know which features are all supported with your current driver. I don't have an ION graphic card for testing, but if the problem remains I would suggest to test with GPU acceleration completely disabled. For a first test you can close all browser windows, and start them with:

PIPELIGHT_GPUACCELERATION=0 firefox
(or alternatively any other browser, like chromium-browser)

Which makes Silverlight use the software-rendering fallback mode. Depending on your screen resolution and CPU speed this can achieve almost similar performance.

Does one of these suggestions help?

Sebastian
