Yikes. I just installed tuxracer --my first attempt at 3D gaming in Linux-- and the framerate is 1 frame per second at best. It's more like watching a slide show than playing a game.
This seems to be a somewhat common problem? But I haven't found any solutions. My computer should be able to handle tuxracer. My video card is just a 16MB Nvidia TNT2 M64, but even with software rendering my 1.1 ghz Athlon should be able to get, say, 5 fps? :) As far as OpenGL goes I have the mandrake Mesa-Common and Mesa rpms installed. Running the gears Mesa demo gave me 250fps, which maybe suggests a tuxracer problem and not mesa? Any ideas? I usually just play 2D games, which are fine in Linux. But I wasn't expecting performance like this. Matt _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
