Video slow on Linux

[reverend]

Ok, what is a "decent framerate" for you? If you have the latest drivers, there's not much you can do except for lowering the detail setting and/or resolution.

It is well known that ATI drivers to linux sux, but they promised to make some decent drivers....but we've heard that song before. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]
That's why I'm using Nvidia.

Decent framerate? Like greater than *three* fps at minimum detail on 1024x768?

Bad frame rate?
That's also because the graphic part of the game isnt so... Well programed, probably due to the multi-OS compatibility.
My other computer (which has alot of problems) can run Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines at extremely high FPS rates consistently, yet even with the below-average graphics that dominion has, I can't get more than 20 or so FPS on normal.
I don't mean to bash Dominions, but you can't say I'm wrong without telling a lie :\

I have no ideas about Linux, but I am running Dom2 on a laptop with SuSE Linux9.2 and a Radeon Mobility 7500. I tried to install different drivers from ATI, but that did not help. Eventually I noticed that the SAX2 config-tool has folder with a checkbox named "enable 3d acceleration"... and now Dom2 runs real fast! So sorry I this is no big help, but it was all that I was missing...

Hmm, I'm running Fedora, so I don't think I have SAX2, but I did just now find something called "system-config-display"... and that said I was using a generic video card! I'll change it to ATI Radeon X300 and see if my system doesn't freeze on "Configuring kernel parameters"...
