Bug Description

Binary package hint: celestia

On my system (a 32 bit install of lucid, graphic card is an Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)) celestia-gnome is so slow it's completely unusable, while celestia-kde and celestia-glut are ok.

"glxinfo | grep rendering" says I'm using direct rendering and I never used "Switch user".

Celestia in 10.04 locks up my Dell Dimension. Worked fine in 9.1 though.

Almer, if celestia really locks up your computer then you should file another bug.

Instead, if it is "simply" so slow that it seems locked, but you can exit pressing ctrl+q (and then waiting many seconds...) please check the "Does this bug affects you?" above to confirm.

I discovered the menu item Options / Limit Frame Rate. It's checked by default and if I uncheck it Celestia frame rate turns back to normal.

I also experience this bug.
Linux 3.0.17-nonrad+ #1 SMP Wed Jan 18 12:24:31, ubuntu 11.04
custom kernel and generic ones with radeon driver. I don' remember this in the past.
The whole desktop becomes very slow, switching between windows and/or workspaces . Seems o be the video issue.
#4 suggestion does not help.
Interestingly, cpu/ram usage remains tiny.
