tuxracer is very slow

[Jubei]

Hi.

I just installed Mandrake 9.0

I was trying to play Tuxracer, which is one of the games that came with Mandrake. However, the game is soo slow, I can't even play at all. It feels like it is running at 1fbs.

I was wondering if someone could tell what might be causing that.

My specs are:

GeForce 2 MX 400 with 64MB
256MB SDRAM
600MB linux swap (I created the swap under winME with PartitionMagic before I installed Linux. How can I view the size of the swap in Linux?)

Thank you in advance.

Have you installed the Nvidia drivers?

I went to Nvidia website but i couldn't find drivers for Mandrake 9.0.
So I don't know which one to download.

just download the tarballs for the kernel and the GLX file and install them from there......that is documented in the OMP

Make sure you have the Kernel Sources installed or else you won't be able to install the drivers.

To answer your other question. To see how large the swap is use the command: cat /proc/swaps
