My installation of Megaglest 3.3.5 on Ubuntu 10.04 is so slow that I can´t even play the game. What should I do?

#1. Make sure you have the native Video card drivers for your card (not the OSS ones)
#2. Upgrade to the latest Alpha which improves graphics and game performance:

Which hardware do you have there?

Please list your:
  • graphics card or chipset
    => run lspci -knn, then copy + paste any entries containing 'VGA', 'display', 'graphics' or just all of it
  • mainboard chipset or mainboard
    => run lspci -knn, then copy + paste any entries containing 'Host bridge' or 'controller hub' or or just all of it
  • CPU
    => run cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -E '^(model name|cpu MHz|physical id|flags)'
  • RAM: how much RAM you have altogether and how much you have typically free, allocated and cached before starting the game
    => copy and paste the output generated by LC_ALL=C free
  • disk drive: tell us whether you a have hard disk drive or SSD, which file system(s) you use, which one MegaGlest is installed on and how much free space you've got left there
    => file systems: cat /proc/mounts|grep -E '^/dev/'
    => free space: LC_ALL=C df -h|head -n1;LC_ALL=C df -h|grep -E '^/dev/'

Finally, what's the output of (when run from your MegaGlest directory):
bin/glest.bin --opengl-info
