This is such a weird install of Ubuntu. Do this

$ sudo apt-get install mesa-utils

This should cover glxinfo.

Then re-run the script.

blakstar: Hmmm... I've seen something, can't remember where unfortunately, that said the game may have issues if being run at less than 1280x1024 (or that may have been 1280x720) -- as I understand it, it prefers 16:9 resolutions
Can confirm this on my old laptop, game runs but the window gets cut in half with 800x600.

Get ready for a huge wall of text.

Shit, just continues to load and won't post the text.

Put the text up on a site like pastebin.com and link to it if you have to.

Looks like an aging laptop or even more aging desktop. Aside from possibly "Wasteland is sloppily depending on newer OpenGL features that Gallium doesn't implement", nothing jumps out as a potential problem with the information that got dumped.

(Keep in mind that the dump file doesn't cover everything that script can do. In its default configuration, glxinfo is the only optional source of info it demands and you obviously don't have most of them installed. The intent is for indie game devs to bundle a copy that's had the list of required information customized.)

Try the strace command next and pastebin the dump file it produces.

Nope using the default layout that came with 14.10.

*sigh* Time to re-test and patch for Ubuntu then. Just my luck that Canonical would break from standards with Unity in yet another way.
Posted March 18, 2015
With regard to the wasteland game file, don't forget it's in

/opt/GOG Games/Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic/game

not

/opt/GOG Games/Wasteland 1 - The Original Classic

EDIT: As in, please retry the strace command, but in the correct directory :-)

This install looks very broken. I think he's also using the open source drivers and I think this could be the main cause.

pimpmonkey, do you know the native resolution of your laptop?

I'm concerned that the desktop was not detected. I mean, WHAT? Not Unity? Not Gnome? Not KDE? Not XFCE? Then what is this?

I'd still suggest he switch to the fglrx driver. Maybe that will help.

EDIT:
I checked the AMD site and the fglrx drivers still support the Mobility Radeon HD 4xxx on this driver:

AMD Catalyst™ 13.1 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=Legacy2&os=Linux%20x86_64

NOTE: this is the 64-bit version.

Okay. Desktop version of the driver is also available. Do you know the native resolution of your monitor? Are you using a 64-bit distribution?

It does seem like AMD pushed that hardware as legacy driver. I'm not sure if Ubuntu packages the legacy fglrx drivers for your system. This could be tricky as this newer Ubuntu release has different XServer version vs the legacy fglrx drivers. Hmmm...
