Ok well I am using the default one coming with Mint. Confused, the opensource driver, which also can be use with Nvidia system, is made of different parts and one of them is called "nouveau" for Nvidia cards and for Intel, AMD is called MESA,right ?

The driver manager does not suggest any video driver at all for my system. So if I understand if I am using the opensource driver, I am already using MESA then. Go figure.

While I have a vague idea of what MESA is, how do I install this ? I use Linux Mint cinnamon 18.1 and their nouveau driver with my old ATI card (HD5550). Can I install this MESA thing instead ? Can someone help me with that ? Tx

Panic, just finish to download it and the damn thing would start but with no display. I could hear the sound and everything but no display. Finally, tried to "run in window mode" and there it goes, in full screen. Go figure. The game is glitchy as hell and the mouse control sometime does not work but I can play.
