Here is my operating system specification, Ubuntu 8.04, Wine 1.0rc3 .
I installed the SketchUp on my machine and then tried initializing it and it throws an error message.
SketchUp was unable to initialize OpenGL! Please make sure you have installed the correct drivers for your graphics card. Error Choose Pixel Format failed.

Whenever I reboot my machine, this error is something which I see as soon as the PC comes up. Then I tried to install EnvyNG and then got rid of the error message while start up.
But I still get the error message when I try to initialize the application.
Anyone has come across this error message.
