Are you using Raspbian Lite or the Full version ? Did you enable the experimental GL driver ?

The manual install is for Rasbian Lite - EmulationStation should be started from the console terminal and not from the desktop.

You don't have to, I only asked because this is not a supported configuration for the Pi model you're using and it would also cause errors when starting EmulationStation.

Stupid Question: Are you trying to run RetroPie through tightVNC? Because I get that error if I run it over tightVNC
