Did you search on internet with these keywords:

intel corporation 82865g integrated graphics controller driver

Maybe you can find help in the results.

I'm getting 30+ FPS... BUT! Black sky, no inventory textures, etc... It does it on servers also.

According to some websites your graphics card only supports OpenGL 1.3, this could be too low for Minetest to work completly. You could try running sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk && jockey-gtk, this will open a program which searches for drivers..

[Tedypig]

It said it's up to date. I have an old graphics card somewhere, but it may be slower. If I find it, I will try it. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

EDIT: It didn't work.

Anyone want to mail me $404.99? Lol. I need a new machine....

I doubt any one person would do that. I don't even have that kind of cash.

You can build a decent machine (for playing MT) with only $125 - $150.

I know, but I wanted to make a decent server also. I found a "barebones" 3.9Ghz 6 core, 8Gb ddr3, etc., etc. for $436.14 (includes tax, assembly, and standard shipping). Plus it has an awesome case. :-) I know I don't want Windows anymore, so I don't need to pay the extra $100.00+ for that to be installed. I have a few decent hard drives laying around (80+Gb*3), so I don't need those. Once I get a job (or buy a decent winning scratch-off...) I'm getting this beast. Lol.

Not bad for the price. I priced a similar machine at Office Depot and it was almost $700.00! With an ugly case, no usb 3.0, yada yada..

lol. What you looked at is a high-end PC, this is way more than enough for MT (and even MC).
A decent Minetest server would cost at most $200.

This is the most minimal machine I can find, and dual core sucks (but still better than my single core P4). This setup costs $241.23 with tax and shipping, etc. I only added the stuff I don't have that's compatible (I.E. Ram), which I put the minimum they had.

All I need to be able to play is a motherboard for my ES5200. The CPU, Ram, HDD, DVD Drive, etc. is all good, but the motherboard fried. It looks like liquid got in it somehow. The ABSOLUTE minimum is a new graphics card for this machine...

[Sokomine]

I'm playing Minetest on a Celeron G1610. The newer version of that Celeron is said to be even faster regarding graphics. There are cheap boards available with everything onboard. Of course it's not as fast and does not allow as far a view as a machine with an extra graphics card would allow - but it's usually more than sufficient.

I know, but I don't want ANY lag. If I planed to run a server I would need at least a quad core to not have lag. I have a list of mods I want to run also, some of which NEED performance (I.E. Mesecons and Technic). I know I don't need some 8 core, 32Gb GDDR3, 4TB HDD monster, though it would be nice. I just want to play, and possibly run a server, both with no (or minimal) lag.

Do you have any proof?

Both Mesecons and Technic do not require a very good CPU, mods can't even make use of more CPU cores.

A custom-built PC for $200 is more than sufficent for that, but if you want to throw money out of the window I can't stop you...

[Evergreen]

@Tedypig Like sfan said, don't waste your money. Just use something like pcpartpicker to help choose parts for a ~$200 pc. minetestserver does not need a beefy computer to work. iirc, someone actually made a server on a raspberry pi.

[Tedypig]

I also want to be able too play guys... To run the server AND play on the same machine, I NEED performance. I have a dual core @3.2 Ghz 3.2Ghz with 2Gb of GDDR2, and I had a server on it and played at the same time, I got ~10 FPS with JUST ME on it. My GF got on and it dropped to ~8, and a random person got on and it crashed. This is why I say I need at-least a quad core.

EDIT: Typo.

You are aware that the FPS you get depends on your graphics card more than on your CPU?
Anyway, you can get a computer with a quad-core CPU for $200 too.

[Tedypig]

Yes, I'm aware of that. But running minetestserver AND minetest at the same time needs more power. A client alone is painfully slow, then adding a server to that.... I mean, I'm running Linux now which cuts about 1,000,000,000 background programs out of the equation, but I'm sure it will still be bad.

[Tedypig]

CPU has less effect?

You are aware that going into singleplayer runs a local server too?

-snip-

The CPU has less effect, right. I did not say that the CPU has no effect at all.
Your current CPU might be too slow.
And no, GHz and number of cores are not indicators whether your CPU is fast or not.

[hoodedice]

Just saying, my dual core 1.9 GHz Celeron 1005M kicks ass. 45+ fps with shaders and shiz enabled, with a nice high viewrange. I also ran a server on it with heavy mods such as mesecons and the like with low lag.

If you are looking at AMD APUs, I'd recommend the 4.0 GHz Kaveri. It has enough power for the price - Last I saw was at $120

EDIT: Also, was your dual core a 3.2 GHz first gen i3?

[Tedypig]

Update on my black sky, etc. problem (like anyone cares). I realized that it's just the blocks that are black/dark. The ingots, flowers, grass, tools, etc are all fine. Any ideas, or still my low OpenGL version? It's only in the inventory that it does this, once the block is placed, I can see exactly what it is.

[cheapie]

Have you tried turning shaders off?
