I'm using blitzmax on a 1GB usb stick running pendrive linux where i work.
No problems so far.

Yes, I probably should have linked to this page which gives you a list of choices.

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libstdc++.so.6, needed by /usr/lib/libGLU.so, may conflict with libstdc++.so.5

I am told everyone gets this (I get it too) and it's just to say libstdc++5 (used by gcc3.3) is installed as well as libstdc++6 which in theory may conflict.

libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b

I looked this up and it means that your driver doesn't support a certain color depth, 32 planes it seems but I think you can ignore that too.

You can type in a console: glxinfo -i |grep -i "0x4b"
for more info or: xdpyinfo
