Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

I'm going to assume you read this part of the error, yes?

Do you happen to be running on an Intel 915G graphics chip?

And have very slight technological knowledge?

Just download them from your graphics card manufacturer.

Also, this is a pretty typical error.

intel® 82801FB/FBM USB universal host controller-2659,

intel® 82801FB/FBM USB universal host controller-265B
intel® 82801FB/FBM USB2 universal host controller-265C

No...usb is where you plug stuff in. I'm talking about your display adapter.
