You seem to have a corrupted installation of supertux, but that's my guess. try to reinstall it

Maybe I misunderstand, but that kind of data corruption is extremely unlikely. My guess is a graphics driver issue due to either a really old PC or an NVidia card.

On Linux, you can force OpenGL to run in software mode by running this before supertux from the terminal:

export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1

Then run supertux or supertux2 in the same terminal instance. More flags here.

Debugging graphics issues is tricky on Linux. NVidia drivers can mess with stuff and even interfere with the stock Mesa drivers, potentially forcing everything onto a card that has buggy drivers no matter what flags you set.

Hmmm. that doesn't seem logical. If there were issues with drivers maybe certain normal apps wouldn't work. Please send your computer specifications (with graphics card).
Have you tried to run other games? If they work it's probably SuperTux fault. If not then it's a driver issue, or something that my knowledge cannot solve.

To me it just looks like it's corrupted... but who knows...

Try to get either a nightly build or an older version of supertux, maybe Milestone 2. Let me know something.

Please note that the OpenGL version reported by your driver is likely the newest version of the compatibility profile which your driver supports. The core profile is what modern renderers use, and considering that GL 3.3 is fully supported in software mode, your system likely has at least that.
