Hi,

What graphics card and driver do you have?

Gazebo/Ogre needs hardware acceleration, from my experience parallel's will
not work.  Older ATI drivers also have incompatible OpenGL implementations.
Most NVIDIA cards seems to run fine.
Please see
http://www.ros.org/wiki/simulator_gazebo/SystemRequirements
for list of tested cards and drivers.
