Worked out what was the problem (was actually using that website)

Have a SIS chipset in my motherboard (PC chips m848a), the AGP controller for the chipset is not recognised by LINUX until kernel version 4.6.8. As a result even though the drivers where compiling etc correctly the kernel was not recognising the chipset so running them without opengl support...

Used Kanotix to install (2.6.10 kernel) and it worked first time...
