synthecin Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 It's been a long time and you helped me in the past, I'm back for more help. Eschalon a rpg game, ran very well on mandriva 2008.0 and .1 However on 2009 it runs incredibly slowly, the music and actual graphics are fine, but the mouse movement is very jerky and the play is almost standstill. I am using a hp laptop (old) with a nvideo 3200 vidoe card. and a xorg driver. any help would be appreciated. thanks Nic PS. video in general was better in 2008.1 than it has in 2009, I'm hoping 2009.1 will improve matters as 2008.1 over 2008 did.

ianw1974 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Any reason why you're not using Mandriva 2010? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthecin Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 time flys when you're having fun. my bad, it is 2010.0 im using and 2010.1 i'm hoping will improve things. to recap Eschalon worked ok in 2008, worked great in 2008.1 but unplayably slow in 2009 and 2009.1 In going to 2009 I had to change to xorg video drivers. and eschalon no longer worked. And with 2010 there has been no improvement. I liked the eschalon game, and the sequel is about to come out, buy I dont want to invest if its going to be as problematic. (these are linux games) Thanks Nic This is a laptop, hp zv5000, 512 ram, with a nvidia 3200 video card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Please explain what you mean when you say you are using the xorg video driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
