Default Linux/OpenGL: ONLY DomIII does not run! Why?

What part of OpenGL is required for DomIII?

Other OpenGL games run fast in highest quality settings without problems on my hardware; only DomIIIDemo runs unusably slow (i.e. Menu fades in very slow, scrolling and zooming the map takes several minutes). Why? What is the different requirement of DomIII? I cannot fix it if I do not know what I am searching for...

OpenGL games included in my distribution, like Neverball, Chromium BSU, TuxKart, KhunPhan, etc. run pretty fast, but only after installing the binary driver for my graphics card.

Getting technical help elsewhere is difficult, since only DomIII is affected. So what feature of OpenGL is required? How do I check for it?

Some details about my system:
Code:

Intel Pentium M 1,86Ghz, 1GB RAM
ATI Radeon Mobility X600 (M24) 3150 (PCIE)
SUSE Linux 10.1
Kernel 2.6.16.21-0.21-default
KDE 3.5.4 "release 78.1"
ATI Binary Driver 8.29.6-1

Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
2163 frames in 5.0 seconds = 432.600 FPS
2632 frames in 5.0 seconds = 526.400 FPS
2683 frames in 5.0 seconds = 536.600 FPS





Note that DomII (full game) [/b]did run fine on my machine[/b] under SUSE 9.3. So I installed it again, but it does not run either anymore on my present installation (no hardware changes, only upgraded my distribution to SUSE 10.1). Maybe some troubles with the current kernel?
