I have been working on a project of OpenGL. Here I just display a boat moving along with some option's for view change.. Its a 2D program. The thing is I have used many glTranslate functions for moving the boat in the code. It works properly in Windows(DEV-CPP) but when executed in Fedora it has a very very very slow movement for boat. When checked for the CPU LOAD it was huge. So any thing which i can try to move the boat faster?
Please help :)
It's most likely that you don't have hardware acceleration in your Fedora version. Check that you've got the proprietary drivers from nvidia (or whoever manufacturs your video card) installed.
Also, do other OpenGL programs run fast?
It's probably the fact that Intel has a horrible Linux driver.
When you say you have too many glTranslate's, how many is too many? Thousands per frame? If you have a lot of translate calls called back to back, you can always add them up by hand and then call glTranslate once with the sum. I'd be suspicious if that's what's slowing your machine down.
