very slow at local game

Hi.

I used Easy Sliders at MEPIS linux without problems, but now I have to change distro and I have installed Kubuntu and now the game is like in slow motion...

First at all I had to install libpng to get run game.

Please, some suggest?

Thanks in advance

I had the same problems with some X server configurations. I don't know if Kubuntu enables the "Composite" extension which gives you nice transparent windows and shadows but playing TS is very slow.

Google may give you more specific answers.

Thank for your answer...

Seems composite is not active on my kubuntu... translucency and shadows are disable in control panel...

Paste hear my /etc/x11/xorg, in order to some one say me if is all ok there:

Code: Select all

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

I'm using ubuntu and at first my TS was in slow motion too. Solution to my problem was installing drivers for my 3D graphics card and getting them to work. It's just that I have ATI and I see that you have NVIDIA, so I really can't help you more with this. Have you installed drivers for your 3D card?

As Dragonstar pointed out, it may help to update your graphic cards drivers. You're using nvidia so you need to look for Ubuntu's forum for detailed help.

For example there are short instructions like:
From your console just type each of these two lines:
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings
$ sudo nvidia-glx-config enable

To disable the nVidia splash screen that shows up when you start X follow the steps here (http://ubuntuguide.org/temp/#disablenvidialogo).

After you run the enabler command, you have to restart X (ctrl+alt+backspace).

Also you can disable the Alpha blending in Turbo Sliders settings under Video Settings.
