			Hello again, 
I read through redwings posts and saw that he had luck with the new ubuntu 9.10.  Since I was running 9.04 I decided to upgrade to 9.10 with a fresh install.
However, even with the new install it is the same thing, I did the installed libopenal1 and I also created the symlink.  So I think you are right and I need the driver.
- what graphics card do you own?
In the booklet that came with my computer says 
graphics: Mobile Intel GL40 Express  Chipset
To my knowledge I have not added any drivers for graphics card.
This is the printout from the code you supplied me:
