Funny, I was using it on Linux. With the proper drivers installed.

Q: The game is *extremely* slow on my Linux machine with OpenGL enabled.
A: The reason for this might be that you're using MESA. MESA gives horrible
performance and should be avoided. If you don't have hardware-accelerated
OpenGL on your system (because e.g. your graphics card manufacturer doesn't
make suitable Linux drivers), you might be much better off when disabling
OpenGL support altogether. For this, you can use command line switch -n,
i.e type
freedroidRPG -n
to start the game with OpenGL output disabled. Graphics will revert to
pure SDL mode, which is slower than real hardware-accelerated OpenGL
output, but that should still be a lot faster than using MESA or similar
software-emulation of OpenGL.
