HELP!! Problem with secret maryo chronicles

[migu3l]

hi people

i hope that someone could help me with this, or at least give some information about why this is happening to me??

i had installed secret maryo chronicles from the packman repository, exactly is the package 1.7-3.pm.6. now, when i try to open the game, te screen goes black an then it appears a bar, and the game start to [i forgot the exact word...] compiling or caching images, but this takes about ten minutes, and finally, when the game menu appears, is extremely slow even the cursor is slow.

this happened to me before when i was an ubuntu user, and one time i had installed the 1.4 package and it works perfectly

so, if someone can give a light about this, i will apreciate it so much... thx!!

Ps: if this could help, my pc is an intel pentium 4 HT, video chipset intel 945G, 1Gb DDR2 Ram, and openSUSE 11.0 with Gnome

Does konsole report any problems when you type smc?

miguel@linux-ixnn:~> smc
Warning : OpenGL Version 1,000000 below optimal version 1.4 and higher
No joysticks available
Couldn't find music file : /usr/share/smc/music/game/menu.ogg

i don't understand what it means, but it says something about 1.4, and that version of smc runs smoothly in my pc...

maybe you know how can i downgrade smc to this version?

What graphics card are you using? It looks as if your card doesn't support the required version of openGL.
