en la consola tecla glxinfo y busca en las primeras lineas donde dice direct rendering: ¿¿yes o no?? con eso veremos si tienes aceleracion grafica, de no ser asi en los repositorios de synaptic o algo asi busca nvidia e instalalos a ver que tal te van

es mi imaginación o estas corriendo linux en una maquina visrtual o,o
