Well I suppose Solitaire should work fine with Intel cards. :)

You don't have Direct Rendering enabled, which is likely the cause of your 
problems.  There are a few possible causes/solutions to this

The dri module must be loaded in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Near the top of /etc/X11/xorg.conf there is a "Module" section, and it should 
contain

Load "dri"

You also need a section to allow permissions for all users

Section "DRI"
    Mode 0666
EndSection

If you already have those things present, your kernel may be built without 
DRM/AGP support.  Make sure the kernel is compiled with support for Intel AGP 
chipsets, with Direct Rendering and the Intel i915 driver in the DRM section.
