Bug Description

Problem:
glxinfo errors:
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

inxi -Gx reports:
Graphics: Card: Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller bus-ID: 00:02.0
           X.Org: 1.14.5 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev) FAILED: vesa Resolution: 1360x768@60.0hz

Workout:
Due dependencies problems, you will first need to install the following packages:
libllvm3.0 and libdrm-nouveau1a (>= 2.4.23), I did it this way:

sudo apt-get install libllvm3.0
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/160002667/libdrm-nouveau1a_2.4.46-1ubuntu0.0.1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libdrm-nouveau1a_2.4.46-1ubuntu0.0.1_i386.deb

And then followed what rkmugen explains on url=http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=120296#p665422, Linux Mint Forums:

libgl1-mesa-dri_8.0.4-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
libgl1-mesa-glx_8.0.4-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
libglapi-mesa_8.0.4-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
libglu1-mesa

Opened up a terminal in the directory containing the 4 downloaded files then installed all of them using:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

And now,
inxi -Gx reports:
Graphics: Card: Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller bus-ID: 00:02.0
           X.Org: 1.14.5 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev) FAILED: vesa Resolution: 1360x768@60.0hz
           GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel 865G x86/MMX/SSE2 GLX Version: 1.3 Mesa 8.0.4 Direct Rendering: Yes
You should also install the same version of the libgles2-mesa package from https://launchpadlibrarian.net/111797533/libgles2-mesa_8.0.4-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

Thanks all.
The problem persist on Lubuntu 14.04 (20140406), the updated mesa packages somehow aren't working on this graphics.

you can't install old packages on a newer distro, that's never supported
