Default Dom3 runs slow on Linux

Hello. I just tried to install Dominions 3 on my new Debian system, and it works fine, except very slowly. Did I miss something in configuration? The hardware should be fine, because when I had Windows installed on this machine, the game worked perfectly. Latest patch is already installed.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Which video card do you have?
Code:
lspci | grep VGA
Which driver and version?

What about other 3D apps, how are they running?

Dom3 runs beautifully on Ubuntu for me (and indeed is written on Linux), so it certainly should be possible to get it working smoothly.

I run it smooth as silk in Fedora 10. You've got to make sure you have right drivers installed of course, but that applies to windows as well.

Works perfectly for me on Gentoo on a not-very-fast laptop with integrated Intel Graphics. So, as the posters above say, it is probably drivers.

lspci doesn't need to be part of the standard tools, I think.

Festin, run
Code:
glxinfo | grep render
in a Terminal.

Does it tell you that you are using "direct rendering", yes or no?
