Emmanuel,

Thanks for your reply. I found out that there is an Intel Graphics 950 Media Accelerator video card in my computer.

This link makes me think that Ubuntu 9.04 automatically configures my graphics card the right way.

You were right that I cannot change preferences. The solution with the older Java 3D Library didn't work either.

Does that mean it's an "antique" graphics card?
Should I buy a new one?
If so, what are the requirements to run SH3D without problems? I don't play games, so I wouldn't need something very fancy.

Hope you can help me once more.

Hans
