I run Ubuntu 14.04 on my main laptop (64bit version alongside Win7) and on my old laptop (32bit version replacing WinXP). I intalled Baldur's Gate 1 on both (downloaded off of the same GOG account) and they installed properly. Now, however, the old laptop manages to run the game in windowed mode (not full screen, though) while the new one cannot run it at all, even though I go through the exact same steps to run the games.
Here's the surprisingly different output I get depending on laptop and whether I use windowed mode:

And that's it, the terminal displays a new input line, awaits my next command and nothing happens.

Notice the 3 minute gap between the 2nd and 3rd to last lines. After that, it just seems to linger - 30 minutes later it still has not marked the next line as a new input line (however, typing exit does exit terminal, so it does not crash or anything).

And then, after a little while, a bunch more lines and the game starts (I guess these might be irrelevant to the problem at hand but just to be sure:)

I would be more than glad if you could enlighten me as to the reason for what seems to me to be wildly erratic behaviour and possibly even suggest solutions, particularly to the new laptop's refusal to do anything at all (I am not overly surprised the old one has problems with graphics but I seriously don't understand what the new one is even doing wrong). Please know that I am relatively new to Linux and still learning how to do things around here, so please consider this when phrasing your answers. Thanks!
