Re: Dom3 runs slow on Linux
 
Assuming it is an OpenGL issue, try running glxgears and take a look at the FPS count after about 10 seconds. After installing gentoo, the default video driver for my Nvidia card was the 'nv' driver and it had a dismal frame rate. (Actually, I don't think 'nv' even worked on my latest graphics card.) After switching to the proprietary Nvidia driver, 'nvidia' the glx reported a frame rate many times faster than the 'nv' driver rate.

Also, in Dom 3, try lowering some of the video preferences.

ATI card owners should get the fglrx driver.

Not necessary. My old laptop had an ATI card and ran Dom3 quite fine with the "ati" driver.

Though the fglrx driver is probably faster. Problem is that it's also rather less stable.

Same here, I'm using the radeon driver, not fglrx. Running fine.
If it says that you're using the MESA software driver / indirect rendering, you have trouble.

I agree, fglrx may not be the perfect choice, especially for legacy cards. If you have a more recent card however (I have a HD4850) it should be perfectly stable. At least I haven't run into any problem what so ever.

Thanks for advice, everyone, this community is really nice and helpful :) For now, I decided I need Windows as second OS anyway, so I installed Dominions there, and it solved the problem for me :)
