openSUSE 10.2 - jerky, laggy, graphics and mouse movement.

Postby Quirrel » Fri Jun 15, 2007 7:20 am

Just installed it and the start screen is jerking away with the mouse stuttering across the screen.

I have also copied my auth key from windows into a directory called /authkey and it doesn't recognise it.

The authkey needs to be stored in the file ~/.defcon/authkey .

What are your hardware specs? (CPU, GPU) and what graphics driver are you using?

Your authkey needs to be in ~/.defcon/ to work properly. :)

Is it really unplayably bad? If so, find the option for Smooth Lines or Antialiasing and disable that, as it doesn't seem to like it very much. Otherwise, I'm not sure how to help you. What are your specs?

Ha

worked

The zooming in and out is smoother than my windows version.

Manually put in the authkey. it's quicker and less hassle.

I agree wholeheartedly. In Windows, it's always so jerky; in Linux, it move so silky smooth, I love it.


Meanwhile, damn you, bert!

I may have been two minutes faster, but it was your hint that worked :)
