I think you need to install the video drivers for your computer.

You have a good description when you google open gl
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

Take a look here.
BTW, a small quote of that site:
OpenGL is the premier environment for developing portable, interactive 2D and 3D graphics applications. Since its introduction in 1992, OpenGL has become the industry's most widely used and supported 2D and 3D graphics application programming interface (API), bringing thousands of applications to a wide variety of computer platforms. OpenGL fosters innovation and speeds application development by incorporating a broad set of rendering, texture mapping, special effects, and other powerful visualization functions. Developers can leverage the power of OpenGL across all popular desktop and workstation platforms, ensuring wide application deployment.

Finally this is the result,
with many clue's from you all , I know that opengl is driver. And from bigpup I guest that may be every driver must be compatible with kernel version.
so after open...open... open.... read...read...read.... many pages ( threads ) luckily :idea: I found great 'How to'from
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=49384
and the result,

Testing with Mahjong3D and Kartingrace.... it's work. :) :D

Again, Thank's a lot. You all are my master.

Now I'am ready to learn something new, BTW how to put solved for this thread ?[/b]
