[KLUG Members] Slow graphics

[Alan DeJong]

Hello!

Whenever i try to play games on my linux box, it takes forever!!  Now, i
know my machine is fast enough.  I am running stock redhat 7.2.
A few examples:  When i try and play tux racer i am not even able to
play the game.  The graphics move about a frame every 2 or 3 seconds.
And i just downloaded a new game called foobillards, and it does the
same thing.
I am guessing its a problem w/ my X Server, but what can i do about it?
