I am trying to install SL on my router/nat box. I cannot for the life of me get SL to run. I get this error:
2007-12-25T16:56:53Z INFO: Skipping quitCursors: mWindow already gone.

When I adjust xorg.conf from 24 bit to 32, X will not run. I realise that my setup on the router barely makes the minimum spec.
Second Life version 1.18.5 build 3
AMD Duron(tm) processor
RAM: 775228 KB
OS: Linux 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 #1 SMP Fri Nov 30 00:45:16 EST 2007 i686
ATI Radeon 9250 with ATI drivers installed.
I use Linux primarily for non-graphics intensive things, so I am a bit over my head on this.
Any help getting SL running properly would be greatly appreciated....

5. TROUBLESHOOTING

The client prints a lot of diagnostic information to the console it was
run from. Most of this is also replicated in ~/.secondlife/logs/SecondLife.log
- this is helpful to read when troubleshooting, especially 'WARNING' lines.
PROBLEM 1:- Second Life fails to start up, with a warning on the console like:
'Error creating window.' or
'Unable to create window, be sure screen is set at 32-bit color' or
'SDL: Couldn't find matching GLX visual.'
SOLUTION:- Usually this indicates that your graphics card does not meet
the minimum requirements, or that your system's OpenGL 3D graphics driver is
not updated and configured correctly. If you believe that your graphics
card DOES meet the minimum requirements then you likely need to install the
official so-called 'non-free' nVidia or ATI (fglrx) graphics drivers; we
suggest one of the following options:
* Consult your Linux distribution's documentation for installing these
official drivers. For example, Ubuntu provides documentation here:
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto>
* If your distribution does not make it easy, then you can download the
required Linux drivers straight from your graphics card manufacturer:
- nVidia cards: <http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html>
- ATI cards: <http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html>
