The key detail in the log is "Gen6+ requires Kernel 3.6 or later." You have Intel Sandybridge (which is gen6) graphics and you've put a version of mesa on your system that is too new for your kernel, either get/build a kernel 3.6 or newer or use an older version of mesa.
Thanks for your aswer. I don't know if get a newer kernel is a good idea
because of my old version ( 12.04 ) of ubuntu. Do you know wich version of
mesa can possibly run ?

@PaixAim Sorry, no, I am not an Ubuntu 12.04 user, or use an intel-gpu-powered system, so I do not track that information.
@PaixAim: Does https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack help? Or, did Ubuntu 12.04 ever ask if you wanted to upgrade to 12.04.4?
Another page, mentioned that you might be able to only upgrade the kernel:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/408041/ubuntu-12-04-3-will-automatically-update-to-12-04-4-and-to-kernel-3-11
with a command such as:
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-saucy
But, usually an updated Mesa is helpful for games, so just updating the kernel might not be too helpful.
@PaixAim: I'm going to close this issue. If you get a chance to add the 12.04 LTS updates, and you still have issues, then let me know.
