I know that opengl plugins aren't the fastest but your PC is really outdated. SDL won't make them faster because SDL is only a wrapper around the graphic API of the targeted system (openGL on linux).

So what i must do to run pcsx2 for my old computer (Intel Pentium IV 3.0 GHz single core with AGP8x NVidia FX 5500). I'm using official GPU driver "nvidia" from the vendor. pcsx2 can't display if i'm using nouveau. Maybe i must upgrade to newest Mesa3D library ?

A recent mesa won't be better. Opensource driver aren't yet ready anyway. I'm sorry but your computer is really too old to have a playable framerate, well maybe except very basic games.
For example your GPU have a bandwith of 6GB/s (theorical), an SB intel IGP have 15-20 GB/s depends on your ddr3 memory (real)....

Thank you. I just add # character in front of cmake_policy(SET CMP0018 OLD) and it works. I can compile it.

@gregory I just tested your new ppa build and must say the work on gsdx is awesome. I mean the hardware acceleration. Really great work.
There are only some small glitches but the performance is great.
Now I think the word experimental can be removed.

I cannot get anything other than GSnull. I get these 2 warnings in the emulog.
[wx] /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.18' not found (required by /home/amd-fx/Desktop/pcsx2-svn-r5705/plugins/libGSdx-0.1.16.so)
and...
[wx] libGLEW.so.1.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Is this version with latest libglew and gcc?
My version of Mint/Ubuntu does not support gcc 4.8 and libglew 1.9, as they only go to gcc 4.7 and glew 1.8. Perhaps download from new version of Ubuntu being built?
Plus, fglrx is still broken and mesa for radeonsi driver (7000 series and up) still not support appropriate features and performance as I noted a couple weeks ago in my fglrx is broken thread. So far pcsx2 is my only holdout for dropping Windows altogether. Maybe I should go to perhaps an old 6950 (comparable in strength to 7850), but with upcoming Kaveri APU's and current Southern/Sea Island also using latest radeonsi driver I am at a loss as to what to do to play pcsx2 on Linux.
