Dom3 runs slow on Linux

lspci doesn't need to be part of the standard tools, I think.

Festin, run

Code:

glxinfo | grep render

in a Terminal.

Does it tell you that you are using "direct rendering", yes or no?

Assuming it is an OpenGL issue, try running glxgears and take a look at the FPS count after about 10 seconds. After installing gentoo, the default video driver for my Nvidia card was the 'nv' driver and it had a dismal frame rate. (Actually, I don't think 'nv' even worked on my latest graphics card.) After switching to the proprietary Nvidia driver, 'nvidia' the glx reported a frame rate many times faster than the 'nv' driver rate.

Also, in Dom 3, try lowering some of the video preferences.
