Greetings Yonghan!

You will need up update your video card driver to the most current release. You 
can likely get the latest driver from the manufacturer website, although many 
manufacturers distribute their drivers through the different Linux package 
managers (yum, apt, emerge, etc.).

Cheers!

Sean
