Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-games
The game "Mines" responds slowly in Ubuntu 10.04 x64. The same game on the same machine responded lightning quick on Fedora 13 x64.
System:
Intel Core2-Quad
8 GB RAM
nVidia GeForce 9600GT using nVidia's Drivers
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Mines 2.30.0
It makes no difference if desktop effects are enabled or not. Starting the game from the command line gives absolutely no errors or warnings.

Solved the problem. Using the "System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers" application, Ubuntu recommend/installed nVidia driver version 173.14.22. This driver was written by Fred Flintstone, ages ago. I downloaded the current driver package (256.44) from the nVidia website and installed it manually. Everything works great now. I suppose a bug report regarding the correct nVidia driver in in order...
I had even tried "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current"; but the most up-to-date driver the package manager installed was 173.14.22 ?
