My favorite non-answer to this:
Don't use KDE or Gnome.
I was having the same problem with the games provided with the distribution.
Then I logged in under IceWM, and tried the games, and they play just fine!
KDE and Gnome are resource hogs. Try a lighter weight desktop, and the games
come back to life.
